The following schedule shows the percentage of the “allowance” the Plan will pay for covered expenses. Your allowance is the Plan’s pre-determined amount for a particular service. For most services, the Plan pays 80% of expenses after you’ve met your annual deductible. You are responsible for the other 20% (your Patient’s Portion).
If you visit a provider in the UnitedHealthcare (UHC) network the allowance is accepted as payment in full for a particular service. In those cases, you will generally owe only your Patient’s Portion to the participating provider. If your provider is not in the UHC, you are responsible for paying any amount your provider charges above the allowance in addition to your Patient’s Portion.
