Some health care providers may continue to charge you even after you have met your deductible
Most providers will bill your insurance first, and then bill you for any portion of expenses not covered by the deductible. However, occasionally some providers will ask for payment up front, even if you have met your deductible.
You will need to discuss with your health care provider how they choose to bill/receive payment when you receive services.
If you have met your deductible and you pay your provider, UnitedHealthcare will reimburse you (as long as the provider indicates on the claim form that you have paid).
You can see online where you are in relation to meeting your deductible
You can track your deductible and claims status by going to www.myuhc.com. UHC will process claims submitted against the plan provisions.
The UnitedHealthcare monthly health statement replaces individual Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements
Instead of receiving a separate EOB statement for each claim, you will be mailed one statement each month that consolidates all processed claims for that period, as well as remaining balances for deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses.
Your UHC monthly health statement is a recap of all services for each covered individual in your household. It itemizes all out-of-pocket expenses for the month and provides you with a year-to-date summary helping you see the complete picture of your health care spending.
Not all health care providers are included in the Choice Plus network
You can use out-of-network providers, but there are things you need to consider.
Although UnitedHealthcare’s Choice Plus network is broad, not all providers are included. To view which providers are in-network, go to www.myuhc.com.
If you use an out-of-network provider, you pay 100 percent of allowed medical services up to the deductible. The out-of-network deductible is higher than the in-network deductible. Once you reach the deductible, the plan pays for 50 percent for allowed out-of-network medical services. You pay the remaining 50 percent. And, there is no out-of-pocket maximum.
