Preferred Plan
This plan requires you to use the Valleywise Health Network for all services. In the case that Valleywise Health does not provide a service, you must have your Valleywise Health Primary Care Physician (PCP) contact UMR and obtain prior authorization before using the UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus Network for services outside of the Valleywise Health Network. While Valleywise Health does not require that you designate a Primary Care Physician (PCP) at the time of enrollment, we strongly encourage you to select a PCP for you and each of your family members.
Prior Authorization
If prior authorization is required and not received, your benefits could be reduced. If you are enrolled in the Preferred Plan, almost all services (with the exception of emergency services), require prior authorization. If you do not obtain prior authorization, services will not be covered.
Approved Providers
All services, including pharmacy, must be received by a Valleywise Health facility. To search for a Valleywise Health provider, use the “Find a Physician” page on the Valleywise Health website.
Appointment Line
For added convenience, Valleywise Health employees can use the Employee Appointment Line at 602-344-8585, Monday through Friday, 7:00am – 5:00pm, to schedule an appointment.
