The Area of Expertise tab, in the Find a Provider search on myuhc.com can make it easy for patients to find specialized services.
How We Identify Specialized Services
We look for an area of expertise service evidence in historical claim data or verify via a primary source (i.e., National Technical Information Service (NTIS) database for data-waivered providers), to determine appropriate directory display of Area of Expertise services.
Where to Find It
After a member signs in to myuhc.com, they can select Find a Provider to search for a care provider in the online provider directory. The Area of Expertise tab will display specialized services of care that are distinct from the practicing specialty.
