Thank you for your interest in joining the UnitedHealthcare network. We’re here to help make the process as easy possible. Our improved onboarding tool, Onboard Pro, located in the UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal, is the first step to request participation in our network.
The process for joining our network of hospitals and facilities is now even easier. Our digital tool, Onboard Pro, will guide you through the process from submitting the initial request to managing your onboarding experience with us.
