The services are family planning, diagnosis of infertility, testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and testing for AIDS or HIV-related conditions.

• UCare Connect members can see any specialist in the UCare network without a referral. You can get additional information on how to access specialty care by calling UCare’s Sales Department, or from the Provider Directory you will receive when you enroll with UCare.

• Prescriptions must be filled at pharmacies in the UCare network. You will get a list of pharmacies in the member packet you receive when you enroll with UCare. The drug must be on our covered drug list (formulary).
