Millions of hardworking Americans have lost their jobs and their employer-sponsored insurance as a result of the pandemic. You may still have several coverage options!
Your health care needs don’t stop, and we at Group Plans Inc understand that. So when the time comes to look for new coverage, it’s good to know you can turn to one place to find the individual plan options that may be right for you. Many major insurance carriers are offering Special Enrollments to ACA plans for those affected, and there are always alternative options such as Medicaid or even Short Term Plans. You may also be eligible for a Special Enrollment if you have lost your job due to the pandemic, or if you have had Covid-19 or were caring for someone who had Covid-19.
We know there are a lot of questions about COVID-19. As the situation changes, we want you to know we’re here to help you find the care, resources, and support you need during this time. Together, we can help you protect your health and the health of your loved ones.
UnitedHealthcare is waiving cost-sharing for COVID-19 testing and the testing-related visit for Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Individual, and Group Market health plan members during this emergency period. Cost-sharing was also waived for COVID-19 treatment for Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Individual and Group Market fully insured health plan members until June 18th, 2020. We will also work with self-funded customers who want us to implement a similar approach on their behalf. This builds on the company’s previously announced efforts to waive cost-sharing for COVID-19 testing and the testing-related visit, and the expansion of other member services. UnitedHealthcare will also waive cost-sharing for telehealth visits related to COVID-19 testing, in addition to waiving cost-sharing for 24/7 Virtual Visits with preferred telehealth partners.
If you have questions about your benefits, call the number on your member ID card or sign in to your health plan account.
