    • The provider is not part of the health plan’s provider network but is the main source of a service to the member. We will work with the provider to participate in our provider network. If the provider chooses not to join our provider network, or does not meet the necessary qualifications to be part of the provider network, we will transition the member to an in-network provider within sixty (60) days. If the provider is not appropriately licensed or is sanctioned, we will transition the member to another provider immediately;
    • The only provider in-network and available to the member does not, because of moral or religious objections, provide the services the member seeks, or all related services are not available;
    • The member’s PCP determines that the member needs related services that would be subject the member to unnecessary risk if received separately and not all of the related services are available within the health plan’s provider network; and
    • The State determines that other circumstances warrant out-of-network treatment.

Choice of Doctor

Each member can choose a primary care provider (PCP). Use the Doctor Lookup tool to see if your doctor is in our network.

Your PCP is your main doctor for:

  • Preventive care.
  • Treatment if you are sick or injured.
  • Referrals to specialists for certain conditions.

For members who don’t have a doctor or whose doctor is not in our network, we can help find a new one close by.

Sometimes you might need a little help understanding your health care options. With us, you have someone you can call. We'll answer your questions simply and completely.

We can also help you find:

  • Home care providers.
  • Specialists.
  • Doctors.
  • Pharmacies.
  • Hospitals or other health facilities.
  • Local resources.

There is no cost for covered prescriptions. We make getting your child's medicine easy. We'll provide a list of covered medicines if you have questions about what prescriptions are covered.

You can fill the prescriptions at local pharmacies in the UnitedHealthcare Community Plan network.

This plan pays for all expenses related to a hospital stay, so you can rest and heal.

Hospitalization coverage includes:

  • Nursing care.
  • Room and board.
  • Supplies and equipment.
  • Treatment and therapies.
  • Diagnostic tests and exams.

And after you leave the hospital, you are not alone. We make sure you get follow-up care to continue healing at home.

  • Medications.
  • Health education and support.
  • Organ Transplant if needed (We will coordinate benefits with Medicare and the State of Hawai’i Tissue and Transplant program (SHOTT))

  • Advise you about getting care at a doctor visit or an urgent care center.

  • Bathing.
  • Feeding.
  • Cooking.
  • Shopping.
  • Running errands.

Prenatal Visits

A pregnancy is a journey that’s better with the help of friends, family and a pregnancy doctor, or OB/GYN.

All recommended prenatal clinical visits and tests are covered by our plan.

At these visits, the clinic will:

  • Make sure both mom and baby are healthy.
  • Explain what to expect at each stage of your pregnancy.
  • Answer questions.

Quitting Tobacco

Most people know the bad health effects of smoking. And they know they need to quit. We support our members while they quit, with coaches and supplies. The only thing they won’t get from us is a lecture.

  • Nursing home services.
  • 24-hour nursing care.
  • Help with activities of daily living.
  • Physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Respite Care

Do you have family members or friends who care for you at home?

Unlimited Doctor Visits

  • Urgent care centers.
  • Medical aid units.
