Just like any other payer within the PHCS PPO Network, your medical service fees will be paid according to your contracted rate.
All WeShare programs include benefits in which members pay you (the provider) a consult fee per office visit, unless the appointment is a routine annual physical or preventive care, in which case the per visit fee to members is $0.
If you are wondering how much to charge a WeShare member for a particular visit, please reference the front of the PHCS WeShare member ID card or the specific Program Details. The per visit consult fee each WeShare member pays varies per program, but operates similarly to co-pay by aligning with the type of medical consult: primary doctor, specialist, urgent care, and emergency room visits. If you have additional questions please contact us.
For any questions about the eligibility of medical services, please submit a pre-certification form here or contact us at 888-275-6157.
Pre-certifications take up to 7 business days maximum.
WeShare by UHSM currently uses Optum for the clearinghouse and is in the system as UHSM with NAIC# UHSM1, claim type HCFA. To request UHSM setup as the provider, open a customer service ticket at your clearinghouse requesting the setup of payer ID UHSM1, with routing to Optum.
