About UnitedHealthcare Community Plan
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan is UnitedHealthcare's North Carolina Medicaid Standard Plan. It is a different product from commercial UnitedHealthcare coverage, even though the cards look similar.
If you have commercial UnitedHealthcare rather than the Community Plan, we accept that too — but the two bill differently, so bring the actual card to your first visit.
What's covered
- Your visits. The initial evaluation and every follow-up appointment.
- Your medication. Buprenorphine/naloxone and related medications for opioid use disorder, through your pharmacy benefit.
- Ongoing management. Refills, dose adjustments, and monitoring for as long as you're in treatment.
Exact coverage, preferred formulations, and any authorization requirements vary by member. We verify your specific benefits before your first visit — at no cost to you — and tell you what to expect.
How to check your coverage in about five minutes
- Find your UnitedHealthcare Community Plan card. The plan name is printed on the front.
- Request an appointment online and include your plan.
- We verify your active benefits directly and confirm what, if anything, you'll owe.
- If you're eligible, you can often be seen the same day.
