SPDs
After each SPD is published, certain changes may have been made to your benefits. These changes are reflected in a Summary of Material Modifications (SMM) that are mailed to each member. View these SMMs on our library page. (Click the "UNITE HERE Staff Plan" button)
Fill out this Claim form and submit it to OONclaims@uniteherehealth.org or fax it to (630) 748-2241
We're always careful with your personal information but email is not always private or secure – keep this in mind before emailing UNITE HERE HEALTH.
Prior Authorization
Certain types of care require “prior authorization” or approval. This helps us to keep quality high and costs low and forces doctors and nurses to talk better to each other about the care you receive.
- Save money on specialist copays by getting a referral from your primary care provider (PCP). When your PCP calls us BEFORE your specialist visit, your copay gets lowered by HALF.
- Have your doctor call us before you get certain types of outpatient care or have an inpatient stay.
