Lab spotlight: Attention California providers only – California sales tax

June 2023

Effective July 1, 2023, taxes accumulated through qualified lens purchases will appear on your billing statements. Your Provider Remittance Advice (PRA) will show a service tax line with the amounts and there will be a code with a definition at the bottom of the statement. UnitedHealthcare | Spectera® will file quarterly taxes on your behalf, eliminating the need for you to file on your own.

If you pay taxes on your own or are exempt by California code, you must send your tax exempt forms and documentation to visionlabops@uhc.com. We will review the documentation and notify you of your exempt status.
