UnitedHealthcare is a health benefits business or health insurance company that is part of UnitedHealth Group. It offers several health benefit programs to meet the health needs of individuals, employers, retirees and their families, military personnel, and Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries living in the United States.
UnitedHealthcare currently works with over 1.3 million physicians and healthcare professionals and nearly 6,700 hospitals and other healthcare centers in the United States.
Inclusivity in healthcare is necessary to improve the access and quality of care provided to all individuals. Often, members of the LGBTQ+ community are either refused care or do not wish to see a provider due to negative experiences with prejudiced medical staff (including nurses, case managers, medical assistants, and doctors) and lack of knowledge of the needs of LGBTQ+ members. These barriers to care affect their willingness to seek health care and can, therefore, lead to poor health outcomes.
UnitedHealthcare supports the LGBTQ+ community and offers resources and inclusive services such as specially trained advocates, an LGBTQ+ supportive provider search, gender-affirming care, and more.
Some resources and benefits include:
The Health Insurance Marketplace is a platform—available online, by phone, or in person—that helps individuals select and enroll in health insurance plans. Healthcare.gov is the federal Marketplace, but 12 states operate their state-run Marketplaces. Residents of those states must use their specific state platform instead of Healthcare.gov to enroll.
Fee-for-service is a traditional payment model where healthcare providers are paid individually for each treatment, test, or service they offer. This differs from newer models, such as those used by Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), where payments are often based on outcomes and efficiency rather than the volume of services.
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a pre-tax account that you can use to pay for eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, including deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and prescription drugs. Contributions to an FSA lower your taxable income, helping you save money. However, funds in an FSA—capped at $2,700 in 2019—generally expire at the end of the calendar year and do not roll over if you change jobs. It’s a “use it or lose it” system, unlike a Health Savings Account (HSA), which may allow rollovers.
Guaranteed issue is a federal regulation that ensures you can enroll in an insurance plan irrespective of your health condition, age, or gender. However, while insurers must offer coverage, this rule does not control how much they can charge, except for ACA-compliant plans, which limit pricing differences for people with preexisting conditions.
Essential health benefits refer to medical services covered by all health insurance plans to comply with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Federal law outlines these benefits, though some states may require even broader coverage.
These essential services include hospitalization, emergency services, outpatient care (also called ambulatory care), mental health and substance use treatment, prescription drugs, maternity and newborn care, birth control, and pediatric dental care.
OB-GYNs (obstetricians and gynecologists) are medical doctors (M.Ds or D.Os) in two medical disciplines- obstetrics and gynecology. Obstetrics involves the surgical and medical care given to women before, after, and during pregnancy. It includes fertility treatments, prenatal care, treating pregnancy complications, postpartum care, and assistance with labor and delivery. Gynecology involves preventive care and treatment for diseases of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, vagina, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Gynecologists see through a woman's care from puberty until menopause and beyond. Further, they also offer general diet and lifestyle advice and mental healthcare.
If you don't have an OB-GYN yet, you can begin your search for one who takes your insurance. For example, you can look up OB-GYNs who take UnitedHealthcare on Zocdoc.
Here's why you should visit a UnitedHealthcare OB-GYN near you:
UnitedHealthcare offers various pregnancy resources for individuals, employers, and community plan members. UnitedHealthcare community plan members can access maternity programs like Healthy First Steps and WellHop for Mom and Baby.
The Healthy First Steps program includes a staff of social workers, nurses as well as health educators who help you find a doctor, set up doctor visits after your child is born, arrange prenatal visits, assist with transportation, and make home visits after you have your baby. Further, the program will help patients with information on food stamps, breastfeeding, baby items, child care, nutrition, sexual health, and family planning. You will also learn how to get help if you and your children don't feel safe. UnitedHealthcare has staff who can help you get safe housing and support.
Having a trusted OB-GYN can help you get accurate answers to questions concerning your reproductive health, mental well-being, pregnancy care, or family planning. Further, OB-GYNs can help you distinguish between facts and myths surrounding your reproductive health and provide realistic solutions based on your age, preferences, and background.
