Don’t turn away covered members: Verify eligibility before the visit

Members often identify themselves by their health plan name rather than their vision network. This can create confusion during scheduling or check-in and may result in covered members being turned away unnecessarily.

 

A quick eligibility check can make all the difference.

  • Don’t rely solely on the name a member provides
  • Verify eligibility on spectera.com
  • Help ensure covered members receive timely care without delays or referrals

 

As a reminder, the UnitedHealthcare Vision Network and Spectera Vision Network are the same vision network. Members may identify themselves as having UnitedHealthcare, even if UnitedHealthcare is not their medical insurance carrier.

 

To help your team recognize the plan names available through our network, download the Vision Brand Reminder. This printable resource can be displayed at the front desk or other office areas for quick access.
