The primary care clinic you choose determines your care system. You can see any provider within that care system without a referral. In order to receive care from a provider outside your care system,
you must receive a referral from your primary care clinic.
** These care systems require referrals outside of your primary care clinic, even if you are still seeking care within the care system.
You choose:
- A primary care clinic that is part of the Medica Elect or Medica Essential network to coordinate all your care.
You get:
- The highest level of coverage when you go to a network physician or hospital within your care system and follow any specialist referrals your primary physician provides
- Coverage for preventive care, mental health care, prescription drugs and emergency care
- In-network coverage if you receive care from any of more than 400,000 UnitedHealthcare Options PPO providers when you travel
- Our extensive information and tools, when and how you need them, via our online member service center
- Customer Service by telephone, toll-free
- Access to registered nurses, 24 hours a day, to answer your medical questions
- Depending on the programs your employer offers, you may have access to Medica programs that can help you establish healthy habits, identify and manage your health risks, and make your health care the best it can be
