  • Shopping Sheet
  • Summary of Benefits

The Clarity Workbook and Shopping Sheets will be available to order through the UnitedHealthcare Toolkit in mid-September. The Benefit Highlights and Summary of Benefits will be available for download on the Sales Materials Portal.

Required materials (contained in the Enrollment Guide) are available as stand- alone items on the Sales Materials Portal. Distribute hardcopy or email* a PDF in place of providing an Enrollment Guide.

  • Summary of Benefits
  • Star Ratings
  • 1557 Disclaimer
  • Enrollment Checklist
