Plan facts (CMS CY2026 Landscape file)

How this plan is structured

• PFFS plan type. Plan-type rules determine in-network use and referrals. See how Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plans differ.
• $6,700 in-network out-of-pocket maximum. The MOOP is the annual cap on what a member pays in-network for covered Part A and Part B services. See how the Medicare Advantage MOOP works.
• Service area = Garfield County. Medicare Advantage plans are sold by service area; moving out of the plan's service area triggers a Special Enrollment Period to switch plans. See how moving changes your Medicare options.

How to verify your doctors take this plan

Network participation changes throughout the year; we hold no provider-network data, so verify directly with these three sources before you decide:

1. Open the plan's official Medicare.gov page and use its provider-directory link: Medicare.gov Plan Finder — H5435-024.
2. Call the plan (UnitedHealth Group, Inc.) using the member-services number listed on that plan page and ask whether each doctor, hospital, and pharmacy is in-network for 2026.
3. Get free, unbiased help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) — see free unbiased Medicare help from SHIP.

What H5435-024 means

CMS assigns every Medicare Advantage and Part D offering a plan identifier made of three parts. In H5435-024, the leading H marks the contract type (H = Medicare Advantage / Part C contract), the four digits 5435 are the contract number issued to the organization, and the three-digit 024 is the plan benefit package under that contract. The segment ID 0 identifies the service-area segment within the plan (0 = the default single segment).
