  • Where practical, choose your providers wisely-Level B and C hospitals appointed by UAP Insurance are cost-effective and up to standard in terms of service delivery.
  • Review your bills before signing them to avoid cases of over-billing from providers.
  • Seek a second opinion, especially for prescribed procedures to ascertain whether it is necessary.
