Choosing a Doctor

Choosing the right Primary Care Physician (PCP)—often the doctor you see for many preventive care services and when you aren’t feeling well—may be important to help you maintain good health and well-being. That’s because your doctor may have opportunity to get to know you and your health history.

Some Walgreens medical plans administered by UnitedHealthcare require you to have a Primary Care Physician (PCP). If you are enrolled in a plan that requires a PCP selection, you may have elected a PCP during enrollment. If you didn’t elect a PCP during enrollment, one was automatically assigned to you. Be sure to check your UnitedHealthcare member ID card to confirm the correct PCP is listed. If you want to change your PCP, you can do so by calling CareConnect Premier at 1-844-859-5007.

You can find a network doctor who is trained to deliver quality care by searching for UnitedHealth Tier 1 Physicians in markets where they are available.

Tier 1 Physicians have demonstrated better results including:

  • Fewer complications
  • Fewer do-over surgeries
  • Fewer unnecessary lab tests, MRIs and medications

To find a Tier 1 Physician, visit myuhc.com® or use the UnitedHealthcare Health4Me® app, and look for the blue dot by the doctor’s name.
