UHC Prior Auth Going Paperless

UHC won’t be sending prior authorization and clinical decision letters by mail starting April 1.

This includes: 

  • Pre-service/prior authorization decision letters
  • Inpatient review letters, including concurrent, retrospective, length of stay and level of care
  • Extension for lack of clinical information letters
  • Complex care management and OrthoNet letters available in Document Library

Instead, you can view them exclusively online 24/7 through either the UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal or an Application Programming Interface (API) system-to-system data feed.
