About the Health Care Facilitator Program 

The Health Care Facilitator Program is a free and confidential service available to faculty, staff, retirees, survivors and eligible family members. They can help you solve complex problems with your medical, dental or vision plan. Health care facilitators are best used to handle complex problems that you can’t solve on your own.

Areas of Assistance

Health Care Facilitator Program staff are trained to handle issues such as:

• Helping with billing problems for services which are covered by the health plan
• Providing a detailed comparison of your benefit options when you have a complex medical condition
• Intervening on your behalf with health plan representatives
• Explaining how Medicare benefits coordinate with UC-sponsored medical plans

Before you get in touch with your facilitator, try these other avenues first:

• Call the number on your ID card when you have questions about coverage, authorization requirements and provider networks.
• If you receive a bill, contact their office directly to verify they have your correct insurance information. 
• Review the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) booklet for detailed information of what’s covered and not covered. For more information, click here: https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/compensation-and-benefits/health-plans/medical/index.html
