Joe has chronic hip pain and has seen a physical therapist for years with no improvement. Joe goes to his in-network primary care physician (PCP) for a consultation. His physician refers him to a Tier 1 orthopedist, who recommends a CAT scan.
Joe learns he needs a hip replacement and looks for a hospital and services that are in network. He is able to get the treatment he needs to become active again — and save costs by choosing providers and services within his benefits plan.

Footnote
- Customer-level potential savings will be a function of plan design, geographic mix, service mix, the proportion of total spend currently associated with non-Tier 1 providers and the extent to which that current spend is redirected to Tier 1 providers. Savings estimates relate to UnitedHealthcare’s book-of-business results. All figures and estimated savings represent historical performance and are not a guarantee of future savings. Meaningful benefit design differentials needed to achieve the upper bound of savings. Quality and cost efficiency based on national standards and local benchmarks.
