Spend less time on approvals and more time with patients

We know the time you spend managing prior authorizations, paperwork and reimbursements is time you’d rather spend with your patients. That’s why beginning Oct. 1, 2026, we’re eliminating 30% of prior authorization requirements for the following plans:

• UnitedHealthcare commercial plans
• UnitedHealthcare® Medicare Advantage Plans
• UnitedHealthcare Community Plans
• UnitedHealthcare Individual Exchange Plans
• UnitedHealthcare Oxford Plans

Why we’re making this change

Removing these prior authorization requirements is part of our effort to help reduce administrative work, remove barriers that can delay care and give you more time to focus on patient care.
