Narrator:
As you explore your options, check out this checklist of questions designed to help you choose the plan that best fits your needs. Let's get started.
Screen visuals:
On a sheet of paper that’s attached to a clipboard, 3 check marks appear one at a time.
Narrator:
Think about the providers you see regularly, like your primary care provider, also called a PCP. If you’d like to keep seeing them, it’s a good idea to make sure they’re in the plan’s network.
Screen text:
Are the providers you often see in the network?
Screen visuals:
A cluster of circles appears. In each circle is a health care-related item, such as a heart, prescription bottle and health care provider. A check mark appears next to the health care provider.
Narrator:
By the way, a network is a group of providers and facilities who've been con-tracted to deliver health care services to you, often at a discount. Staying in the network makes sense — because getting care from within the network may help you save money.

Screen text:
How do you check if a provider is in the network?
Narrator:
We first have to ask: Are you in the process of considering a new health plan? Or are you already a health plan member who's registered with a myuhc.com account? Depending on your answer, the way to find a PCP will be different.
Screen visuals:
As a hand holds a smartphone, a question mark appears on its screen. A second hand holding a smartphone appears. On its screen, a check mark appears.

Narrator:
If you're considering a plan, and want to see if a PCP is in the network, you'll go to the myuhc.com home page. Select Find a Provider.........and then choose Medical Directory. From there, you’ll see additional steps where you may need to select your health plan and set your location to find PCPs near you. Then, you’ll choose "People"............."Primary Care"............and "All Primary Care Providers." Network providers will be marked with a green check.
Screen visuals:
A step-by-step demonstration illustrates how to search for a network primary care provider on myuhc.com.
Narrator:
If you're already a member—with a registered myuhc.com account—to find a PCP you'll need to go to myuhc.com ------ Sign in to your account. ------ Select find care & costs. -------Then, primary care providers. ------ Network providers will be marked with a green check.

Narrator:
Consider the health care you or your family may need in the plan year ahead. This can help you decide the level of coverage you may need.
Screen text:
What are your health needs?
Narrator:
For example, you may want a plan that offers more coverage if you have major health care needs; see doctors or specialists often; are anticipating a change, like a growing family, or upcoming surgery.
Screen text:
You may need more coverage for:
- Major health needs
- Frequent specialist visits
- Plans for future changes
Screen visuals:

Screen text:
How do you like to manage your costs?
Narrator:
Some people manage costs by choosing to keep their monthly premium payments low. Others choose to pay higher monthly premiums because it tends to lower other costs, like copays or deductibles.
Screen visuals:
A calendar appears under the words “Monthly premium,” and a wallet is under the words “Copays and deductibles.” Between them is a horizontal line. As the calendar sinks down, the wallet rises. Then, the calendar rises as the wallet sinks.
Narrator:
In both cases, it's helpful to compare health plan deductible, co-insurance and out-of-pocket limit amounts. Understanding the differences can help you keep your costs in check — and know what to expect.

Two pieces of paper appear. One is labeled “Plan 1” and the other is labeled “Plan 2.” A check mark is made under the “Plan 2” document.

What's the difference between HSA, HRA, and FSA?
Video transcript
Many health plans include an account designed with money-saving opportunities in mind. You may have heard of any one of them:
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [HSA]
A health savings account,
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [HRA]
a health reimbursement account
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [FSA]
or a flexible spending account.
Each account works in its own way to help you save and pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Let’s take a look at where they’re alike — and where they’re not — starting with
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Health savings account
HSA]
the health savings account, or HSA.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [HSA]
A few things to know: you can open an HSA when you enroll in certain high deductible health plans.
You’re responsible for funding it — and your employer, family and others can put money into it if they choose.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Tax-free]
Every dollar you contribute to and save in your HSA is tax-free. Spend your HSA dollars on qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses — and that’s also tax-free.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Annual limit]
There’s no limit to how much you can save over time, but there are annual contribution limits.
Since it’s your HSA, the money in it stays with you even if you change employers, health plans or you retire.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Health reimbursement account
HRA]
In some ways, a health reimbursement account, or HRA, is similar. As long as you have money in your HRA, you can use it to help pay for qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses.
But, because HRAs are only funded by your employer, you can’t take your HRA with you if you change jobs — it belongs to your employer.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Flexible spending account
FSA]
Moving onto our last type: the flexible spending account, or FSA.
Although they are offered through your employer, FSAs don’t have to be tied to a health plan.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Pre-tax dollars]
You or your employer contribute pretax payroll deductions, which you can use for eligible medical and dependent care expenses.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Use it or lose it
Year end]
The big difference with FSAs is they may follow the use it or lose it rule, meaning if you don’t spend your FSA funds within your plan year, you can’t carry it over to the next. So, it’s a good idea to avoid putting more money into your FSA than you can spend in a plan year.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [HSA
HRA
FSA]
Those are some of the similarities and differences between these three accounts.
Now, can you tell them apart?
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [HRA]
Which of these is only funded by your employer?
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [FSA]
And which one has a “use it or lose it” rule?
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [HSA]
And which one stays with you forever?
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Get the most out of your health care dollars]
Nice! Now that you know how each kind of account works, you’re ready to get the most out of your health care dollars.

The importance of a primary care provider
Video transcript
When it comes to your health journey, it feels good to know you've got support every step of the way.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Primary care provider (PCP)]
That’s where your primary care provider, or PCP, comes in.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [What's a PCP?]
A PCP is the doctor who knows you best — who understands your health history and health goals.
They’re who you turn to first — for everything from routine care to prescriptions and more.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Preventive care
Checkups
Well-child visits
Screenings
Immunizations]
PCPs also provide you with preventive care, such as well child visits, annual checkups, mammogram screenings and immunizations.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Virtual visits for primary care]
And, since most PCPs offer virtual visits for primary care, you can choose to see them in person or from home.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Choose a PCP]
So, whether or not your plan requires you to have a PCP, it’s a good idea to choose one.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Choose a network PCP]
And a tip? Be sure to choose a PCP who’s in your network
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Out-of-network Network]
because staying in network can help save you money.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [$0 additional cost]
For example, when you see a network provider for preventive care, you'll find that the visit’s covered by most health plans at no additional cost.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [Finding a network PCP]
Now that you know the benefits of having a network PCP, let’s look at how to find the one that’s right for you.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [uhc.com/providersearch]
First, go to uhc.com/providersearch. Then, choose your health plan name and select Primary Care.
You’ll be able to see which PCPs are in network, if they're accepting new patients, and what their patient ratings and average costs are.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [My PCP]
If you already have a PCP and want to make sure they're in the network, no problem — all you have to do is search for them by name.
ON-SCREEN TEXT: [care that helps meet your needs]
Just remember, no matter where your health journey takes you, your PCP is there to support and connect you with the care that helps meet your needs.

How a health plan works
Screen visuals:
A lotus flower, apple, bandage, digital thermometer, smartwatch, blueberry, drug capsule and medical cross nestle into a neat pile.
Narrator:
Most common health plans have a premium, or plan costs, which is a routine payment typically taken out of your paycheck. This helps keep your plan active, so you can stay covered.
Screen visuals:
A calendar’s pages flip forward, and a check mark appears on the same day of each month. A hand sets an empty drinking glass next to the calendar.
Narrator:
At the start of your plan year, you pay 100% of your covered health services until you meet your deductible, which is the dollar amount set by your health plan before it starts to pay costs.
Screen text:
Your coinsurance may vary by plan or service. This example is for illustrative purposes only. Please refer to your official plan documents for coverage details.
Screen visuals:
A hand pours a pitcher of water into a drinking glass. When the glass if half full, a horizontal line appears, labeled “Deductible.” A second hand holding another pitcher of water appears and begins pouring into the same drinking glass.
Narrator:
Once you reach your deductible, "co-insurance" begins. That’s the percentage of costs your health plan shares with you. For example, you may pay 20% of a covered medical expense, and your plan will pay the remaining "eighty" percent.
Screen text:
Your coinsurance may vary by plan or service. This example is for illustrative purposes only. Please refer to your official plan documents for coverage details.
Screen visuals:
Two streams of water fill a drinking glass. The halfway mark of the glass is labeled “Coinsurance.” Water continues to pour into the glass.
Narrator:
Along the way, you may pay a fixed amount, also known as a copay, for certain covered health services, like a doctor’s appointment.
Screen visuals:
A drinking glass is filled with water. A hand drops 4 ice cubes into the glass.
Narrator:
Your plan offers you further protection with an out-of-pocket limit, which is the most you could pay for covered services in a plan year. Co-insurance, copays and deductibles count toward your out-of-pocket limit — but premiums don’t. Once you’ve met the out-of-pocket limit, your plan’s got you covered at 100%.
Screen visuals:
A drinking glass is filled nearly to the brim with water and ice cubes. At the top of the glass, a horizontal line appears, labeled “Out-of-pocket limit.” Two streams of water begin to pour into the glass. The water rises up to the horizonal line. The top half of the drinking glass is labeled “Coinsurance, copays and deductibles.” The label at the top of the glass changes to “Health plan pays 100%.”

Now that you know how health plans work, you can get more out of your benefits. Thanks for watching.

The PDL also arranges medications by tiers, from typically lower-cost generic drugs on Tier 1 to higher-priced brand name ones on Tier 3. You can use the PDL to discuss lower-cost options with your doctor.

First, green checkmarks tell you that the provider is accepting new patients or that the provider is in your health plan network. That's a good thing, because network providers may offer services at a lower cost.
Next, you may see a blue number 1, which means a Tier 1 provider who may be recognized for delivering cost-effective care from your health benefits.
