Know more about NexusACO plans

Starting Jan. 1, 2024, more members will have access to the UnitedHealthcare NexusACO® plans. Here’s some information about NexusACO to help as you care for these members. 

Tiered benefits

UnitedHealthcare NexusACO is a commercial tiered benefit plan designed to encourage members to seek care from Tier 1 health care professionals. Tier 1 includes featured Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in selected geographic areas and UnitedHealth Premium® Care Physicians in areas around the country where an ACO is not featured.

NexusACO features

There are 2 types of NexusACO benefit plans:

  • NexusACO R plans require referrals
