UnitedHealthcare Community Plan

What UnitedHealthcare Community Plan is

Cardinal Care is Virginia's Medicaid program. It is not one insurer; your coverage runs through one of five health plans, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan is one of them. If your card says UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, your psychiatric visits here are in network. If it says UnitedHealthcare or Optum without the words Community Plan, you have a commercial plan, which is also accepted here through a separate contract.

Medicaid behavioral health visits usually carry no copay. Outpatient psychiatric care does not require a referral from your primary care provider on this plan, but it is still worth a quick call to the member number on your card to confirm your plan is active. This practice also checks your eligibility before every visit, since Medicaid coverage must be renewed each year and a lapse means the visit cannot be billed.
