Preferred Providers are the physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers who have contracted to provide specific medical care at negotiated prices. You should always confirm the Preferred Provider is part of the network, as this can change without notice by calling the Company at 1-888-251-6253 and/or by asking the provider.
The Preferred Provider for your plan is UnitedHealthcare Options PPO. If care is received from a Preferred Provider, any Covered Medical Expenses will be paid at the Preferred Provider level of benefits. Reduced or lower benefits will be provided when an Out-of-Network provider is used. By using a Preferred Provider you can also save yourself some out of pocket expenses. Use this link to search for participating physicians, hospitals, facilities, medical equipment, or supplies in your local area.

As a UnitedHealthcare member, you have access to a comprehensive and quality pharmacy benefit provided through the UnitedHealthcare Pharmacy Benefit Program. UnitedHealthcare uses OptumRx. (www.optumrx.com) for certain pharmacy benefit services including your mail order benefit.
Make Informed Decisions
When selecting a medication, you and your doctor should consult the UnitedHealthcare Prescription Drug List (PDL). The PDL includes most brand and generic medications approved by the FDA. Medications may be placed on different “tiers” based on their overall value, with Tier 1 being the most affordable tier option. Click below to download and review the current Prescription Drug List:
Payment, pricing, and coverage information about most prescription medications
Information about lower cost medication alternatives,
A list of participating retail pharmacies by ZIP code, and
Your prescription history
Choose a pharmacy that’s in the network
To get the most from your pharmacy benefit, you should use a participating retail pharmacy. There are over 60,000 retail pharmacies in our network, including both chain and independent stores located across the United States.
Use the Pharmacy Locator to find a participating retail pharmacy.
It’s easy! Just download the claim form below. Fill out the first page with your personal information, dates of injury or sickness, the cause of the injury or date of first symptoms for a sickness, sign your name with today’s date, and attach all receipts.

Your Doctor can also submit a claim electronically using Emedeon (formerly WebMD). This gives a faster turn-around time than submitting a claim by mail. Check with your doctor to see if they are a participant. If they are, show them your ID Card. The Emedeon information is printed on the back of every ID Card.
