When a person is diagnosed with a serious illness, they rarely have the luxury of time to do all the research, interviewing and evaluation necessary to make informed, confident decisions about every aspect of their care.
UnitedHealthcare has taken on this very important responsibility for our consumers, offering specialized network programs that seek them out and connect them with medical professionals and facilities renowned in their area of practice.
Premier Medical Centers
We choose our specialized medical center partners based on their program breadth and depth, patient and family-oriented programming and services, program volumes and clinical outcomes.
We ensure a high level of care by considering the facility’s:
Cancer Resource Services
Even when a patient is diagnosed with an uncommon or highly specialized form of cancer, we have the resources to connect them with the premier cancer centers for their treatment.
Nurse consultants work with individuals, their families and their physicians to make informed decisions about their cancer care providers. In addition, they coordinate and communicate with the specialized center about initial and/or local treatment efforts.
Transplant Management Solutions
As the use of transplants as a treatment option increases, it is absolutely crucial to have relationships that enable fast, seamless communication between care providers and transplant programs. Our Transplant Benefit Management Program offers just that and much more, guaranteeing clinical excellence.
