No one should pay retail for health care!

That's the guiding principle behind the UnitedHealth Allies Discount Program. Our mission is to help our members save real money on health care purchases made outside of insurance. We offer typical discounts of 10 to 50 percent from a nationwide network of more than 500,000 participating practitioners and facilities – as well as dozens of online suppliers of health and wellness products. Whether as a complement to members' existing benefits or as an affordable alternative, the UnitedHealth Allies discount program helps our members reduce their health care spending and embrace a healthier lifestyle.

How Does UnitedHealth Allies Work?

Using UnitedHealth Allies is easy! No referrals are required and there are no claim forms to submit. Also, you can visit any of the providers in our nationwide network and pay our preferred member rates at the time of service. You choose. You save. It's that simple.

When you enroll in UnitedHealth Allies, you will receive a Member Handbook in the mail. To start using the program, just follow these steps:

1. Select a health care professional.

• Log on to the Web site and choose a discount category (such as vision) and a specialty (such as LASIK).
• After choosing a provider, click "select" to print a discount confirmation. Note: The discount confirmation introduces you to the provider and guarantees you receive the discounted rate. There is no obligation to visit the selected provider.
• Or, call the Customer Care phone number on your card. An advisor will help you locate health care professionals and will provide you with a confirmation.
• For online shopping partners, no need to confirm – just follow the onscreen instructions to get your discount.

2. Make an appointment with the health care professional.

• Be sure to bring your discount confirmation and your member ID card with you to your visit.

3. Pay the discounted rate at the time of service.

Savings Tip: If you are enrolled in an FSA, HRA or HAS and the service is a Qualified Medical Expense, be sure to submit your receipt for reimbursement.
