Your HealthSelect Medicare Advantage Plan is a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan. As a member of a PPO plan, you have a lot of flexibility in choosing a provider. You can choose from a network of contracted doctors and hospitals nationwide or you can use any doctor or hospital outside the network as long as they have not opted out of Medicare and agree to see you. And remember, for in-network or out-of-network services, your benefits are the same.
Disclaimer
Out-of-network/non-contracted providers are under no obligation to treat UnitedHealthcare members, except in emergency situations.
