How is Surest different for health care providers and patients?

Surest tries to simplify health care and cut through the confusion by:

  • Offering clear, upfront pricing: Members know prices in advance and may be less likely to delay, forego or ration their medical care or medications.
  • Providing options: Members can see what’s covered and compare costs between providers. They have the ability to see high-value provider options that may not have been visible before.
  • Offering the flexibility to activate coverage if the need arises.

More clarity and a better experience for your patients means less ambiguity for you, the provider:

  • Members know what they'll owe, improving the collection process.
  • Prices that members see are the prices they pay their providers.
  • There’s no need to reconcile claims based on deductibles.

To learn more about how the Surest plan makes choices clearer and insurance easier to understand, visit provider resources.

Are referrals required to see a specialist?
No. Referrals are not required under Surest.
What if a patient doesn’t have their insurance card yet?
If a patient forgot their insurance card or has not received one yet, they may find it on the Surest app on their phone. If the patient does not have a smart phone or has not downloaded the app, Member Services will be happy to assist the member at 866-683-6440. Providers can also view a member’s Surest ID in the UHCprovider.com portal.
What if I have more questions?
Please reach out to the Surest provider relations team with all applicable details and someone will assist: providers@surest.com
