The UnitedHealth Premium® designation program is intended as a resource for informational purposes only. Designations are displayed in UnitedHealthcare online physician directories at myuhc.com®. You should always consult myuhc.com for the most current information. Premium designations are a guide to choosing a physician and may be used as one of many factors you consider when choosing the physicians from whom you receive care. If you already have a physician, you may also wish to confer with him or her for advice on selecting other physicians. Physician evaluations have a risk of error and should not be the sole basis for selecting a physician. Please see myuhc.com for detailed program information and methodologies.

Only individual physicians and facilities that meet UnitedHealth Premium designation criteria, or physicians in designated specialties who are part of medical groups that meet UnitedHealth Premium criteria for group practices and who have sufficient claims data for analysis, may be designated. All physicians and facilities that contract with UnitedHealthcare have met credentialing requirements. Regardless of designation, plan enrollees have access to all physicians and facilities in the UnitedHealthcare network. Specialties for which there are no quality guidelines currently established in the program are excluded from evaluation and are noted as such.
