This is an important reminder for all United Health Care members. Starting May 15th, 2010 UHC will pay claims for covered services from out of network labs at the out of network benefit level even if your in network doctor referred the service.
Previously UHC was lenient on this. But not any more. Make sure you ask your provider where they send your lab work. If you are with United Health Care, use LabCorp. Please call the office if you have any questions on this.
