Choose your UnitedHealthcare plan today for trusted, affordable coverage.
Enrolling in a UHC plan is simple if you follow the right steps. Start by understanding your healthcare needs, then compare plans on the UHC website. You can apply online, by phone, or through an agent, and once enrolled, you’ll receive your ID card and access to benefits. Be sure to apply during the correct enrollment period to avoid delays.
Before enrolling, take a few minutes to think about:
How often do you or your family visit the doctor?
Do you need regular medications?
Do you want coverage for dental, vision, or mental health?
Do you prefer lower monthly payments or lower out-of-pocket costs?
You can compare UHC plans on their official website: www.uhc.com. You'll find options for:
Individuals and families
Employer-sponsored plans
Medicare and Medicaid
Short-term or temporary plans
You can enroll in a UHC plan in three easy ways:
