Please present your UHCSR student health insurance ID card each time you receive medical services to ensure proper eligibility verification and claims processing. Please be sure that the provider includes your unique 7-digit StudentResources ID number printed on the front of your card when submitting claims or making inquiries regarding your eligibility. You should point out to providers that ALL inquiries regarding coverage, copays and claims MUST be directed to UnitedHealthcare StudentResources , which is a stand-alone division of UHC. The UHCSR Customer Service toll-free number is listed on the front of your ID card and the claims mailing address is listed on the back of your ID card. Individual health insurance policies through UnitedHealthcare are more expensive than average; however, plans will most often come with added benefits and access to wellness programs.
Additionally, many customers have rated UHC well due to its supportive customer service department and smartphone app that can provide in-depth health analysis. UHC is the largest health insurance company by total policyholders. This is exemplified by the large suite of products that the provider offers, including health, dental, vision and disability.
For the 80, 90 and 100 medical plans, you pay a $30 copay for physician office visits , when you use UHC network providers. Preventive care is covered at 100% with no deductible for in-network services. The deductible, coinsurance and all medical and prescription drug copays accumulate toward your annual out-of-pocket maximum. Virtual visits conducted by telephone or video chat with a doctor are not an insurance product, health care provider or a health plan. Unless otherwise required, benefits are available only when services are delivered through a Designated Virtual Network Provider.
Virtual visits are not intended to address emergency or life-threatening medical conditions and should not be used in those circumstances. Services may not be available at all times, or in all locations, or for all members. Check your benefit plan to determine if these services are available. The Designated Virtual Visit Provider's reduced rate for a virtual visit is subject to change at any time.
Virtual primary care visits are unavailable for members under the age of 18. Students can connect with the appropriate providers via web, phone or app. Students enrolled in UIUC's Student Health Insurance plan will have 24/7 access to healthcare resources including appointment scheduling and virtual visits.
HealthiestYou can provide information on everything from flu and infection to anxiety and depression. Each person covered by a health insurance plan has a unique ID number that allows healthcare providers and their staff to verify coverage and arrange payment for services. It's also the number health insurers use to look up specific members and answer questions about claims and benefits. If you're the policyholder, the last two digits in your number might be 00, while others on the policy might have numbers ending in 01, 02, etc.
Please note that this is a division of UnitedHealthcare dedicated to student health insurance plans. The standard UnitedHealthcare online system commonly used by providers to confirm eligibility and coverage dates will not work for student health insurance plans. Coverage determinations are made on a case-by-case basis and are subject to all of the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the Member's contract, including medical necessity requirements. Health Net may use the Policies to determine whether, under the facts and circumstances of a particular case, the proposed procedure, drug, service, or supply is medically necessary. The conclusion that a procedure, drug, service, or supply is medically necessary does not constitute coverage. The Member's contract defines which procedure, drug, service, or supply is covered, excluded, limited, or subject to dollar caps.
The policy provides for clearly written, reasonable and current criteria that have been approved by Health Net's National Medical Advisory Council . The clinical criteria and medical policies provide guidelines for determining the medical necessity criteria for specific procedures, equipment and services. In order to be eligible, all services must be medically necessary and otherwise defined in the Member's benefits contract as described in this "Important Notice" disclaimer.
In all cases, final benefit determinations are based on the applicable contract language. To the extent there are any conflicts between medical policy guidelines and applicable contract language, the contract language prevails. Medical policy is not intended to override the policy that defines the Member's benefits, nor is it intended to dictate to providers how to practice medicine. Many health insurance cards show the amount you will pay (your out-of-pocket costs) for common visits to your primary care physician , specialists, urgent care, and the emergency department. If you see two numbers, the first is your cost when you see an in-network provider, and the second—usually higher—is your cost when you see an out-of-network provider.
For example, when you're referred to a specific specialist or sent to a specific hospital, they may not be in your insurer's network. Each Fall , the insurance plan renews with a new policy contract. Enrollment is not automatic, so you do have to enroll each time, online or by mail/fax.
We cannot accept payment or renewal information by phone. You may also need to renew each semester depending on what you initially purchased. Please note that premiums, benefits, claims addresses, ID numbers, and contact information may change with each renewal. Please review the brochure or contact our office with any questions. Students should carry their health insurance identification card with them at all times because an unplanned emergency room visit can occur.
Providers always request a copy of your ID card when providing care, including emergency room providers. If you obtain treatment without your ID card a bill will be sent to you directly. If the bill is not paid within 30 days, many providers will send your name to a collection agency.
If you present your ID card to the provider at the time of service, the bill is usually sent to the insurance company, first, for payment.

United Healthcare is a paperless company and does not automatically mail policy brochures and ID cards to members. Once the insurance company processes the enrollments, they will send an email to the student's ohio.edu address notifying them that the ID card is available. The email will provide insureds with directions to create an online account with the insurance company through their website. This is very easy to do, and requires insureds to simply choose a username and password.
The online account allows students to print an ID card or upload a digital copy to a smartphone or tablet. Online accounts cannot be created until the enrollment has been processed by the insurance company, and the insured has received their email from United Healthcare Student Resources. UnitedHealthcare StudentResources Insureds have online access to claims status, EOBs, ID Cards, network providers, correspondence and coverage information by logging in to My Account at /myaccount.

Out-of-network providers may not accept payment of students' cost share as payment in full and may therefore bill students for the difference between the amount billed and the amount paid by the plan.

Please send the bill to the address listed on your member ID card and the insurance company will resolve any payment dispute with the provider over that amount. In order for a mandated student to access the enrollment or waiver system form, the student must be included in the eligibility file that the University sends to United Healthcare Student Resources. To be included in the eligibility file, you must be registered for classes during the semester and the charge for mandatory health insurance must be assessed to your UGA Student Account. You can access the insurance company's system approximately 48 business hours after the charge is assessed to your UGA student account.
Once enrollments are received in our office or completed online, there is a processing time of approximately 7 business days. During this time, physicians and pharmacies will not have access to your information. If you do have to use your insurance before processing is complete, keep track of any medical bills or prescription receipts. These can be reprocessed once you are in the system or submitted to the insurance company along with a claim form. Your insurance company may provide out-of-area coverage through a different health care provider network.
If so, the name of that network will likely be on your insurance card. This is the network you'll want to seek out if you need access to healthcare while you're away on vacation, or out of town on a business trip. Prior authorization means getting approval before you can get access to medication or services.
