Northwestern Mutual Employees Access Mobile Urgent Care
Two Centivo Plans with UrgentCare2go™ Across Texas
When you or a family member needs medical attention, traveling to a clinic may add more stress to an already difficult day. UrgentCare2go™ brings professional medical care directly to eligible patients at home, work, or another approved Texas location.
Northwestern Mutual employees may be enrolled in the High Performance Copay Plan or HSA Plan administered by Centivo. Member costs differ between the two plans, and new specialty care generally requires a provider referral. Verify your benefits and UrgentCare2go’s network participation before scheduling a mobile visit.
What Northwestern Mutual Medical Plans Are Available?
Northwestern Mutual employees may be enrolled in one of two medical plans:
-
High Performance Copay Plan
-
HSA Plan
The available plan information lists the following costs:
High Performance Copay Plan
-
$0 copay for a primary care visit
-
$50 copay for a specialist visit
HSA Plan
-
Members must first meet the applicable deductible
-
Copays or coinsurance may vary after the deductible is met
-
Medical cost-sharing information is available on the insurance card
These amounts may not automatically apply to a mobile urgent care visit. Laboratory testing, medications, procedures, medical supplies, and the mobile service may be processed separately.
An insurance card does not guarantee coverage or payment. Your final responsibility may depend on eligibility, medical necessity, network participation, deductible status, referral requirements, prior authorization, and the services provided.
For scheduling assistance, call UrgentCare2go at (817) 508-8169.

-
Does UrgentCare2go participate with my Northwestern Mutual plan?
-
Is a mobile medical visit covered?
-
Does the High Performance Copay Plan’s $0 primary care copay apply?

UrgentCare2go can collect your insurance information and help prepare for the visit, but Centivo provides the official explanation of plan benefits. Final coverage is determined when the claim is processed.
Is Prior Authorization Required?
Prior authorization depends on the medical service being requested.
Members and providers should contact Centivo at (833) 452-2888 before receiving a service that may require approval. Providers may also use the Centivo Provider Portal to verify benefits, review authorization requirements, and check claim status.
Prior authorization does not guarantee claim payment. Current eligibility, medical necessity, network participation, deductible requirements, referral requirements, plan exclusions, and other rules may affect how the claim is processed.
How Do I Find an In-Network Provider?
Not every healthcare professional participates with every Northwestern Mutual plan. Members should confirm that UrgentCare2go and the treating medical professional participate with their exact plan before receiving care.
To locate or verify an in-network provider:
-
Call Centivo at (833) 452-2888
-
Contact BSWQA Care Navigation at 1-844-279-7589
Provide the employer name, plan name, member identification number, requested service, and service location when confirming participation.
Are Specialist Referrals Required?
The Northwestern Mutual plans require a provider referral before beginning new specialty care.
Referral exceptions include:
-
OB/GYN care
-
Behavioral health services
-
Chiropractic care
-
Rehabilitation services
-
Laboratory testing
-
X-rays
-
Occupational therapy
-
Physical therapy
-
Speech therapy
The exception list does not necessarily mean every service is covered without prior authorization. Members should confirm current requirements with Centivo before receiving care.
Without a required referral, the member may be responsible for the full cost of specialty services. Providers can submit referrals through the Centivo Referral Portal.
