Using Network Providers
Using HSHS providers and facilities will always provide you the highest level of benefit. With the UMR medical plan colleagues will have access to a three-tiered network listed below.
Before determining which tier a provider is in, you need to determine if you live inside the HSHS Service Area. Colleagues that live outside of the service area will receive the HSHS Extended Tier benefit level for services received from any UHC Choice Plus provider.

- HSHS Select - HSHS, PCC and Prevea providers and facilities.
- HSHS Extended - local partners such as Springfield Clinic, PCIN network providers, SSM, SLU, Mercy and others.
*Springfield Clinic Ambulatory Surgical Center is covered under the UMR Choice Plus network. - UHC Choice Plus - nationwide United Healthcare network.
When you need care from a non-network provider
- Out-of-network services will not be covered unless you first obtain a referral from your network provider and prior authorization from UMR.
- Your network provider will need to submit a referral request to UMR.
- In order for services to be covered, the referral needs to be reviewed and approved prior to services being received.
