THE HEALTH CARE
FACILITATOR (HCF)
PROGRAM

UCI’s Health Care Facilitator (HCF) is here to help faculty and staff, retirees, survivors and their eligible family members, to better understand and obtain the full benefits and services available from the UC-sponsored health plans. Your Health Care Facilitator is a knowledgeable counselor who will provide you with confidential one-on-one assistance in resolving health plan issues.

  • Understand your UC health plan coverage and patient rights
  • Define your health care issues
  • Navigate the health care system
  • Resolve issues with your doctor, medical group or medical plan carrier
  • Understand how Medicare benefits coordinate with UC-sponsored medical plans

The Health Care
Facilitator

    or legal advice
  • Act as a patient care advocate for services/ benefits that are not offered
    by UC’s plans
