Anyone can see a TVH specialist... they accept a bunch of different insurance plans, not just UHC Advantage.
Whether or not you need a referral to see a specialist depends on your insurance plan... some require your PC doc' to make a referral and some don't The TVH UHC Advantage does
not require a referral. But some specialists require a referral too.
If you are in TVH UNC Advantage if you do see a TVH specialist they use the same health records data base so they can do a better job managing your case.
I know my wife's PC doc' and her TVH specialist worked together quite well.
Do TVH specialists give priority to TVH UHC Advantage members... I don't know.
