Attachment COL-17-CA CERT Introduction Welcome to the UnitedHealthcare StudentResources Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan. This plan is underwritten by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company (“the Company”). The school (referred to as the “Policyholder”) has purchased a Policy from the Company. The Company will provide the benefits described in this Certificate to Insured Persons, as defined in the Definitions section of this Certificate. This Certificate is not a contract between the Insured Person and the Company. Keep this Certificate with other important papers so that it is available for future reference. This plan is a preferred provider organization or “PPO” plan. It provides a higher level of coverage when Covered Medical Expenses are received from healthcare providers who are part of the plan’s network of “Preferred Providers.” The plan also provides coverage when Covered Medical Expenses are obtained from healthcare providers who are not Preferred Providers, known as “Out-of-Network Providers.” However, a lower level of coverage may be provided when care is received from Out- of-Network Providers and the Insured Person may be responsible for paying a greater portion of the cost. To receive the highest level of benefits from the plan, the Insured Person should obtain covered services from Preferred Providers whenever possible. The easiest way to locate Preferred Providers is through the plan’s web site at www.uhcsr.com/montereypc. The web site will allow the Insured to easily search for providers by specialty and location. The Insured may also call the Customer Service Department at 1-800-767-0700, toll free, for assistance in finding a Preferred Provider. Please feel free to call the Customer Service Department with any questions about the plan. The telephone number is 1-800- 767-0700. The Insured can also write to the Company at: UnitedHealthcare StudentResources P.O.
