UnitedHealthcare is announcing exciting enhancements to the Care Cash® program that are designed to help improve the consumer experience and expand employer eligibility.
About Care Cash
Care Cash helps employees pay toward cost-sharing of certain eligible network health care expenses. A preloaded debit card can be used for visits to UnitedHealth Premium® primary care and specialist providers, network primary care, 24/7 Virtual Visits, urgent care, outpatient behavioral health and lab visits. Through Care Cash, employees may:
- Save money
- Stay healthier
- Take ownership of their health
Care Cash aims to help reduce total cost of care and provides employees with a simpler experience.
Program Enhancements for 2024
Effective January 1, 2024, Care Cash availability will be expanded to the following small group states: Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah.
- Updated UnitedHealth Premium Designation alignment: The Care Cash program has applied the UnitedHealth Premium program enhancement, which supports greater emphasis on quality. Additionally, Tier 1 status was given to a subset of Premium Care Physicians with cost-efficient ratings of A through D. Effective November 1, 2023, the Care Cash program aligns with the updated UnitedHealth Premium program definition, including the designation of Tier 1 physicians.
- Inclusion of laboratory services: Beginning in 2024, the Care Cash program will include minor diagnostic laboratory services in the provider-eligible expense definition. This enhancement will apply to any new Care Cash customer with a January 1, 2024, case-effective date or later and will apply to existing Care Cash customers upon their 2024 renewal date.
