Does UniCare require that a member obtain a referral for OB/GYN services?
A female member may receive routine OB/GYN services from a woman’s principal health care provider without a referral from her PCP. To do so, she must first designate the woman’s principal health care provider. Remember the woman’s principal health care provider must have a referral relationship with the member’s PCP. Members may confirm a referral relationship by accessing UniCare’s Customer Service department, the provider directory or the provider listing on the website.
