CommunityCare Overview

When you report a situation that could be considered fraud, you’re doing your part to help save money for the health care system and prevent personal loss for others. If you suspect another provider or member has committed fraud, waste or abuse, you have a responsibility and a right to report it. 

Taking action and making a report is an important first step. After your report is made, we will work to detect, correct and prevent fraud, waste and abuse in the health care system.

Call us at 844-359-7736 or visit uhc.com/fraudopen_in_new to report any issues or concerns.  

Program Overview

The Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT)/Bright Futures program combines screening, diagnostic and treatment services to Medicaid and CHIP-eligible individuals from birth to age 21. These services give children early access to preventive and comprehensive health care to help prevent disease and/or detect disabilities in their early stages, when they are more effectively treated.
