UnitedHealthcare’s Health Plan For Spanish Speaking Employees.
UnitedHealthCare has launched a health plan in Texas designed specifically to help enhance the well-being of Spanish speaking Hispanics and their families.
The plan called PlanBien, includes culturally relevant information and programs tailored to meet the health care needs of Hispanics such as:
1. Specialized educational materials printed in Spanish.
2. Bilingual photo stories depicting how a family discusses common health concerns;
3. Trained and certified bilingual customer service representatives available to answer questions and locate Spanish-speaking doctors for particiapnts
4. A bilingual provider directory that lists physician offices with Spanish-speaking doctors, and more.
PlanBien is currently available to small and medium-sized businesses in select markets in Texas, including San Antonio, Austin, and Houston, as well as labor organizations and public-sector entities. PlanBien is currently not offered as part of an individual health insurance plan, but possibly will be in the future.
