Rhode Island health plans

Looking for low-cost or no-cost health insurance? We offer Medicaid plans. We also offer dual health plans for people with both Medicaid and Medicare.

For general information about the plans in your state, visit Rhode Island's homepage.

EOHHS in collaboration with DHS, RIDOH and the Governor’s office, continue to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak in RI and will work with our government partners and MCOs to ensure all lines of communication remain open and available. The health, safety and welfare of our members is our highest priority. More information about COVID-19 is available in multiple languages at health.ri.gov/covid. People with questions about COVID-19 can call 401-222-8022. This is the COVID-19 Hotline that RIDOH has available to the public. Please call 211 after hours.

You should get tested for COVID-19 if:

  • You have symptoms of COVID-19. Even if your symptoms are mild and you’re up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations, you should isolate at home and get tested.
  • You’ve been identified as a close contact of someone who tested positive. Get tested 5 days after the last time you were with that person, even if you don’t have symptoms.
  • You work in a healthcare or congregate setting. Participate in on-site surveillance testing when it is available.

If you don't have symptoms, haven’t recently been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, and don’t work in a healthcare or congregate setting, you don’t need to get tested for COVID-19.

If you recently tested positive for COVID-19, Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) does not recommend getting tested again for the following 90 days. Someone who has COVID-19 can continue to get a positive test result for up to 90 days.

1. Through the Federal government, each household can order a one-time shipment of 4 free OTC at-home COVID-19 tests shipped directly from covidtests.gov. Learn more about this program at covidtests.gov. Order your tests now so you have them when you need them.

2. As always, COVID-19 testing is free when you go to a COVID-19 testing location instead of testing at home. There are several ways to get tested for COVID-19 in Rhode Island. Click here to find the test site closest to you.

Schedule a free test for yourself or a dependent child at a State-run COVID-19 test site. All Rhode Islanders can schedule a test online at portal.ri.gov or by calling 401-222-8022. You do not need an appointment to get tested at a mobile test site in your community. 

3. Learn how to get free in home covid test kits at your local pharmacy.

Prior authorization (PA) requirements that were lifted as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency will go back into effect as of October 1, 2021 for medically necessary services and as of January 1, 2022 for Behavioral Health Services that require a prior authorization. A PA is a request from your healthcare provider or a Behavioral Health provider for approval from UnitedHealthcare to provide certain medically necessary services. Both your healthcare and behavioral healthcare  providers are aware of the PA requirement and the effective dates.

The providers available through this application may not necessarily reflect the full extent of UnitedHealthcare's network of contracted providers. There may be providers or certain specialties that are not included in this application that are part of our network. If you don't find the provider you are searching for, you may contact the provider directly to verify participation status with UnitedHealthcare's network, or contact Customer Care at the toll-free number shown on your UnitedHealthcare ID card. We also recommend that, prior to seeing any physician, including any specialists, you call the physician's office to verify their participation status and availability.

Some network providers may have been added or removed from our network after this directory was updated. We do not guarantee that each provider is still accepting new members.

Out-of-network/non- contracted providers are under no obligation to treat UnitedHealthcare plan members, except in emergency situations. Please call our customer service number or see your Evidence of Coverage for more information, including the cost- sharing that applies to out-of-network services.
