Choice of doctor

You’ll have a primary medical provider (PMP) who’ll be your main doctor. Your PMP is the person you see for most of your care. This includes checkups, treatments, vaccinations, minor injuries and health issues. Talk to your PMP about any other concerns you may have. Your PMP can help you decide the right options for you.

Your PMP is your main doctor for:

  • Preventive care like checkups, cancer screenings and vaccinations
  • Treatment if you are sick or injured
  • Referrals to specialists for certain conditions

Use the Doctor Lookup Tool to see if your doctor is in our network. If you don’t have a PMP or if your doctor is not in our network, we can help you find a new one close to you. You can change your PMP at any time.

Virtual visits with Doctor Chat

It’s not always easy to visit a doctor in person. Virtual visits (or telehealth) let you talk to a doctor 24/7 using your computer, tablet or smartphone. Telehealth is a good option to treat common conditions that have standard treatments. Here are some examples:

  • Cold, flu, and fever
  • Cough, aches, and sore throat
  • Allergies, skin rash, and irritation
  • Urinary tract/bladder infection
  • Ear infections
  • Sinus infections
  • Migraine/headache
  • And more

The providers available through this application may not necessarily reflect the full extent of UnitedHealthcare's network of contracted providers. There may be providers or certain specialties that are not included in this application that are part of our network. If you don't find the provider you are searching for, you may contact the provider directly to verify participation status with UnitedHealthcare's network, or contact Customer Care at the toll-free number shown on your UnitedHealthcare ID card. We also recommend that, prior to seeing any physician, including any specialists, you call the physician's office to verify their participation status and availability.

Some network providers may have been added or removed from our network after this directory was updated. We do not guarantee that each provider is still accepting new members.

Out-of-network/non- contracted providers are under no obligation to treat UnitedHealthcare plan members, except in emergency situations.
