Getting Care Your Primary Care Provider (PCP) Your Primary Care Provider (PCP) is your personal care provider. A PCP can be a family or general practitioner, internist, pediatrician, or other type of provider. Your PCP is shown on your ID Card. When you enroll, you will be asked to choose a participating UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Primary Care Provider (PCP). If you do not choose a PCP within 10 days of your enrollment with our plan, a PCP will be selected for you. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan will do our best to choose a PCP for you and your family that is close to your home. You may choose an Indian Health Service or tribal clinic provider as your PCP if you are a registered American Indian or Alaskan Native. You can also find a list online at myuhc.com/communityplan.

Talk to your PCP about any health problems you have. Let your PCP know about your medical history. Tell them about any specialists that you are seeing. Follow all your PCP s instructions. Part of good health is seeing your PCP for checkups, even if you don t feel sick. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan will send you a reminder so you know when to go for a checkup. When you don t feel well, your PCP will help you. Be sure to call your PCP right away. Your PCP may refer you to a specialist. Changing Your PCP You may change your PCP at any time.

Your provider will help you find the right specialist. If you have a complex illness, you may need to see the specialist many times. You may see your specialist as often as needed. If you have complex care needs, a specialist can be your PCP. If you need this, call Member Services at 1-800-641-1902 (TTY: 711). We will help you find a specialist who can meet your needs.

What if I Need Care and My Provider s Office Is Closed? Call your PCP if you need care that is not an emergency. Your provider s phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your provider or someone from the office will help you make the right choice for your care. You may be told to: Go to an after-hours clinic or urgent care center Go to the office in the morning Go to the Emergency Room (ER) Get medicine from your pharmacy Call NurseLine: 1-877-543-4293 Utilization Review UnitedHealthcare Community Plan reviews all the care you receive to make sure that UnitedHealthcare Community Plan covers it and it is the right care for your condition. There are also some treatments and procedures we need to review before you can get them. Your providers know what they are, and they take care of letting us know to review them. The review we do is called Utilization Review. The way we pay our staff, that makes these decisions, is not related to what they decide. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan pays its Primary Care Providers (PCP) and its specialists every time they see one of our members. This is known as Fee-For-Service. We pay hospitals and all other types of providers in our network the same way they get paid every time you see them or get services from them. We never hold back any payments to any of our providers for giving too much service. If you want to find out about financial arrangements UnitedHealthcare Community Plan has with your provider, call Member Services at 1-800-641-1902 or TTY: 711 for the hearing impaired. How Does UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Decide if New Tests, Treatments and Technologies Should Be Covered Benefits? A group of providers and nurses decide. They look at what has been written in medical journals. They review guidelines issued by national provider groups or other leading health organizations. They study company information to see if health improves. If you have any questions about your health care benefits, call Member Services at 1-800-641-1902 or TTY: 711 for the hearing impaired (available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week). What if I Need Care When I Am Out of Town? UnitedHealthcare Community Plan will pay for routine care out-of-area only if: You call your PCP first and he or she says that it is important that you get care before you return home. Nebraska 13

Getting Care (cont.) Your PCP must then call UnitedHealthcare Community Plan to get approval. If you do not speak to your PCP before you get routine care when you are away from home, you may have to pay for care yourself. If you cannot reach your PCP, please call Member Services. Any provider you see must agree to accept Nebraska Medicaid payment. This means, for example, if you or your family members are on vacation and need routine care, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan will pay only if you get approval from UnitedHealthcare Community Plan first. If you need emergency care when you are out of town, go immediately to the Emergency Room (ER) at the nearest hospital. You do not need an authorization from your PCP to go to the ER, but you should call your PCP as soon as you can after receiving ER services. If you need to get to the ER fast, call 911. There is no cost to you for ER services or emergency ambulance services. It is important for you to receive routine care from your PCP. Your PCP knows your medical needs the best. Changes You Need to Report You could lose your coverage if the State cannot contact you. If we do not know where you live, you will miss important information about your coverage. Please call ACCESSNebraska at 1-855-632-7633. If in the Lincoln area, call 402-473-7000. If in the Omaha area, call 402-595-1178. Please also call Member Services at 1-800-641-1902 or TTY: 711 for the hearing impaired. What if I Get a Medical Bill? Sometimes you will get a bill that should have been sent to us. If you get a bill you believe we should pay, call Member Services for help. You may have to pay medical bills if you receive treatment from providers who are not part of UnitedHealthcare Community Plan s network. What if I Want to Choose a Different Plan? You may change your plan for any reason during the first 90 calendar days after the date of your initial enrollment; or when we receive notice of your enrollment, whichever is later. After the 90 calendar days you will be locked into your health plan for an additional 9 months. You may change your health plan annually on your 12-month anniversary of enrollment. How Do I Request Disenrollment From My Managed Care Plan, Before My 12-Month Re-Enrollment Period? You may request to be disenrolled from the Plan with cause such as: moving out of the service area; poor quality of care; unable to get access to care or the providers you need for your health care needs.

Advance Directives An Advance Directive is a set of written steps you want to be taken when you can no longer make choices for yourself about health care. It tells what health care you want or do not want. Nebraska law gives you the right to have advance directives and to have those directives followed by your health care provider. You should talk about your wishes with your provider, family, and friends. These steps will not change your health care benefits. There Are Two Types of Advance Directives: 1. Living Wills A living will tells your provider the kinds of life support you want or do not want. 2. Power of Attorney for Health Care This is a form that names another person you select who can make health choices for you. It would only be used if you cannot make choices yourself.
