Disclaimers
UnitedHealth Premium® is proprietary to UnitedHealthcare. UnitedHealth Premium evaluates physicians based on safe, timely, effective and efficient quality care criteria to help members make more informed choices for their health care. It's intended only as a guide and should not be the sole factor considered when selecting a physician. Designations have a risk of error and members should discuss designations with a physician before choosing one. If a member already has a physician, they should also consult with them for advice on selecting other physicians. The fact that a physician does not have a Premium Care Physician designation does not mean that the physician does not provide quality health care services. All physicians in the UnitedHealthcare network have met certain minimum credentialing requirements (separate from the UnitedHealth Premium criteria). Please visit the medical care directory specific to the member's benefit plan for physician designations and detailed information about UnitedHealth Premium and the evaluation methodology.
UnitedHealthcare Hearing is provided through UnitedHealthcare, offered to existing members of certain products underwritten or provided by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company or its affiliates to provide specific hearing aid discounts. This is not an insurance nor managed care product, and fees or charges for services in excess of those defined in program materials are the member’s responsibility. UnitedHealthcare does not endorse nor guarantee hearing aid products/services available through the hearing program. This program may not be available in all states or for all group sizes. Components subject to change.
Preventive Care: Certain preventive care items and services, including immunizations, are provided as specified by applicable law, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), with no cost-sharing to you. These services may be based on your age and other health factors. Other routine services may be covered under your plan, and some plans may require copayments, coinsurance or deductibles for these benefits. Always review your benefit plan documents to determine your specific coverage details.
