Benefits
Good health starts with knowing your benefits!
The UNITE HERE Staff Health Benefits Plan has two versions: current staff and retirees.
Download a copy of your “Benefits at a Glance.” It is an overview of your benefits, but some information may have changed.
Choose your plan or call for assistance:
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)
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.
