UnitedHealthcare UCards Not Accepted
UnitedHealthcare recently introduced its UCard program for members enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan. Unfortunately, UCards are not connected to the Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express networks, so Fort Collins Utilities – along with many other utility service providers – is unable to process the cards for bill payment.
