BILLING SUPPORT
FIND A PROVIDER
My provider is stating that they don’t recognize my ID card. What do I do?
Explain that you have health benefits and request they call the number on your ID card to verify your eligibility status. You can call the same number if you have any difficulties.
What if a provider asks me to pay for my procedure upfront?
The only out-of-pocket expense you should pay, at the time of service, is a copay or deductible (if applicable). Please call the number on the back of your ID card to confirm amounts or if the facility will not perform treatment without additional funds.
Why is an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) so important?
When a claim is processed, an Explanation of Benefits or EOB will be sent to you and the provider. This EOB explains how your claim was processed. The most important area on the EOB is the Patient Responsibility.
Healthcare providers can have excessive markups, often way beyond what their actual costs are. A detailed audit will be performed to review your medical claims for any errors and overcharges to eliminate these excessive mark-ups and ensure you pay only what is allowed within your plan.
This helps save you money.
If a provider bills you for more than the amount they are sent, it is called a balance bill. To be clear, the provider is asking you to pay more than what the plan allows. If you receive a balance bill, call the phone number on your benefits ID card.
Telemedicine
United Concierge Medicine
Included with all medical plans
Your health plan has partnered with United Concierge Medicine (also known as UCM) to provide you access to Emergency Medicine providers 24/7/365.

Important Things To Know About Your Pharmacy Benefits
| Prior Authorization | Generic Drugs |
|---|---|
| Prior Authorization | Some drugs, and certain amounts of some drugs, require an approval before they are eligible to be covered under your medical plan. Even if a drug is listed or on a formulary, you should check your schedule of benefits to verify it is a covered benefit. |
| Generic Drugs | When a patent or exclusivity expires on a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug, other companies can make the drug in a generic form. The FDA requires generic drugs have the same high quality, strength, purity and stability as brand-name drugs. On average, the cost of a generic drug is 80-85% lower than the brand -name equivalent. |
