The UnitedHealthcare Bergen Asian Resource Center, at 7 Broad
Ave., Suite 207 in Palisades Park, will serve approximately 15,000
Asian-American Medicare recipients in Bergen County. It is the
second UnitedHealthcare benefits store in New Jersey staffed by
representatives who offer customized in-language support in Korean,
Cantonese, Mandarin and South Asian dialects.
New Jersey Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers can visit the
store to learn about their Medicare coverage options or participate
in health and wellness seminars in the community room. Customer
service representatives can answer questions and help connect
people with community resources and social services such as the
Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged & Disabled (PAAD) and
Senior Gold programs – both New Jersey state-funded prescription
drug initiatives that help eligible residents with the cost of
prescription medications.
Customer service representatives are also available to help
people enrolled in UnitedHealthcare employer-sponsored plans review
their benefits and eligibility, and provide translation service for
documents, including those not related to health insurance
plans.
Community leaders joined UnitedHealthcare executives at a
ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new center, which is the company’s
10th storefront dedicated to serving Asian-American communities in
the United States.
“For more than two decades UnitedHealthcare has helped people in
New Jersey’s and New York’s Asian-American communities live
healthier lives,” said Chris Law, national vice president,
UnitedHealthcare Asian Initiatives. “This new storefront in
Palisades Park will provide people who live in Bergen County the
customer service and support they need to learn more about their
health benefits and the many community services available to
them.”
Multiple phone lines are also available 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday, including 1-877-718-3682 for Korean-language
inquiries, 1-800-801-1900 for Chinese-language inquiries and
1-800-250-5779 for South Asian-language inquiries; TTY 711.
UnitedHealthcare was one of the first health plans to provide
culturally relevant health care services to Asian Americans. The
company founded its Asian Initiatives business in 1994 and
established an office in New York City’s Chinatown. Its other New
Jersey storefront is located in Edison.
“There is an ongoing need for Medicare benefits education and
helping people who are not as proficient in English navigate the
health care system,” said Phillip Franz, CEO of UnitedHealthcare
Medicare & Retirement in New Jersey. “We hope this new location
in Bergen will make it as simple as possible for more people to
find the Medicare plan that works best for them and receive the
support they need to make the most of their benefits.”
