UHC OTC Catalog

Brokers/agents will have many clients who ask for the UHC OTC Catalog now that the new year has started. If your client is either new to the UHC plan or a member who has renewed their membership, they will all want to know which items are available to them with the OTC benefit this year.

To place an order on line, they can go to www.OTC-Essentials.com. They should follow the prompts from there to set up an online account.

Brokers/Agents, please remind members that they must use their HMO OTC benefit by the end of each quarter. If they do not place an order before the quarter ends, they will lose that quarters benefit. These benefits expire at the end of every plan year. We recommend that members check their OTC benefit amount for each new year. Also, please make sure your client is aware that, they need to check on the new items available in the OTC catalog every year. This will help them make the most of their benefits. Additionally, you should let your clients know that their entire OTC order for each quarter must be done in one single order.
