UHC Expands Benefits for Community Plan Members in Florida

In Florida, UnitedHealthcare introduced extended Community Plan benefits to enhance both patient access to care and health outcomes for members. These updated changes focus on making care plans more accessible for patients and offering doctors new tools to treat their patients effectively.

• The recent changes in benefits allow members to access a monthly payment of $65, which should cover over-the-counter prescriptions and medical supplies.
• Community Plan members now have unrestricted access to visit their primary care providers at any time without any quota limitations.
• Patients who require therapy can receive coverage for an annual assessment from a physical or occupational therapist as well as seven clinical sessions each week.
• Automatic blood pressure monitors gained coverage as part of an update alongside financial assistance for serious mental health and substance use conditions affecting children and teens.
• Maternal care planning now offers pregnant women access to doula services while providing diaper packs combined with pregnancy virtual support groups and chiropractic benefits, and the Healthy First Steps® program reward package.
• Members of Pathways to Prosperity receive assistance through housing help as well as access to food, along with transportation services.
• The supplementary services work to reduce member stress levels while raising their awareness of improvements in health.

Healthcare professionals who deliver patient care experience benefits through these changes. UnitedHealthcare rewards primary care physicians through their CP-PCPi (Community Plan Primary Care Professional Incentive) performance incentive program. Through Practice Assist, healthcare providers can track patient requirements to decrease documentation work and improve the quality of care. Members can access free education programs at Optum Health Education.
