Primary Advantage Overview
How the Plan Works 100% in-network preventative care coverage Primary Care office visits & Tier 1 prescription drugs are covered with a copayment and no deductible All other services, including Specialist care and Tier 2 and 3 prescription drugs, are subject to a combined deductible of either $1,500 or $2,500, depending on the plan chosen. After the deductible is met, the member will pay a specified copayment (not coinsurance) for medical services, including specialist office visits. Tier 2 and 3 prescription drugs are covered with a 50% coinsurance after the combined deductible is met. While there are no referrals required to see a specialist, this plan design encourages members to seek care from their primary care physician whenever possible. 3 Proprietary Information of UnitedHealth Group.

Primary Advantage Overview
Getting the most from their benefits No cost for Preventative Care including: Annual physicals for adults, preventive care for children, well woman care through an OB/GYN other important screenings We encourage members to seek care from their primary care physician before they seek care from a specialist. A visit to your primary care physician can be a much smarter choice than other care options. The chart below shows the average cost to a member enrolled in the Primary Advantage plan for frequently used services. As you can see, once the deductible is met, there are still significant savings opportunities gained by seeking care from a primary care physician. Note: Costs may vary based on fee schedules of providers Proprietary Information of UnitedHealth Group. Do not distribute or reproduce without express permission of UnitedHealth Group. 5
