Important information for health care professionals and facilities Communication Between PCPs and Specialists Is Key to Well-Coordinated Care Primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists have shared responsibility for coordinating care and communicating essential patient information to each other. Lack of communication can negatively affect quality patient care. Relevant information from the PCP to the specialist should include the patient s history, diagnostic tests and results, and the reason for referring the member to the specialist for a consultation. The specialist is responsible for timely communication of the results of consultations to the PCP, and ongoing recommendations and treatment plans. Well-coordinated care starts with a regular exchange of information between health care providers to give the patient the highest quality care and care management. Fighting Homelessness in Nebraska Helping Members in a Housing Crisis Every night, 20,000 people are homeless in Nebraska. The average age of a homeless person? Nine. 1 These people sleep on the streets, in shelters, or move from couch to couch. Still others spend so much of their income on rent that they lack money for food, medicine, gas, adequate heat or air conditioning. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Nebraska is fighting back for our members by working with several local organizations focused on affordable housing and help for the homeless. We know members can t focus on staying well, managing chronic illness or living independently when they don t have access to safe, affordable housing. That s why Our Housing Navigator is available to make sure members have access to the services they need. If you are working with UnitedHealthcare Community Plan members who are experiencing a housing crisis, our Housing Navigator can help them navigate available resources to resolve their residential issues and receive appropriate medical care. To connect members with this service, please have them call the Housing Navigator at 402-445-5729. 1 Open Door Mission Fast Facts Interpreter Services UnitedHealthcare Community Plan offers interpreter services free of charge, with no pre-authorization required. Just call our member service center and a representative will verify the member and connect you with an appropriate language line representative. To access our interpreter services during appointments and procedures, call our member service center at 866-641-1902. Update: Radiology Prior Authorization No Longer Required Effective March 1, 2017, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Nebraska will not require prior authorization for radiology services.
