UHC Retiree Advantage member testimonial

“For me, actually, the biggest benefit is the knowledge that I have coverage that is so good and I don’t really have to worry about expenses. If you’re spending any money at all out of pocket for copays, this is the plan to enroll in. And you get all of these different perks. I’ve had two HouseCalls visits and I got a little gift card afterward. I just couldn’t be happier with this plan.”

– Bob Garcia, retired from US Department of Health & Human Services
