UnitedHealthcare works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits.

Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care if you sign up for Medicare Advantage in Utah.

2023 UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Plan Overview

What type of plan is AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot (HMO-POS)

AARP Medicare Advantage Patriot (HMO-POS) is a Local HMO *. With a health maintenance organization (HMO) you will be required to receive most of your health care from an in-network provider. Health maintenance organizations require that you select a primary care physician (PCP). Your primary care physician will serve as your personal doctor to provide all of your basic healthcare services. If you require specialized care or a physician specialist, your primary care physician will make the arrangements and inform you where you can go in the network. You will need your primary care physician approval, called a referral. Services received from an out-of-network provider are not typically covered.

With a HMO-POS point-of-service you have the option to go out-of-network or see a specialist without a referral. But, you may pay more for out-of-network care you receive than from an in-network provider.
