- Act now to avoid a delay in payment of your dependent’s medical claims. Each year, before paying benefits for your covered dependent, UnitedHealthcare (UHC) needs to confirm whether your dependent has other health care coverage. (If they do, UHC needs to coordinate benefits with the other insurance carrier.) Your best bet is to let UHC know now. Log on to myuhc.com > Claims & Accounts > Member Actions > Coordination of Benefits to update or confirm your dependent’s information. Otherwise, after he or she receives care, UHC will send a notice asking whether that dependent has other coverage. And UHC won’t process the claim until you respond, which could delay the process.
