Go Paperless: Good for the planet. Good for you.

Good for the Planet

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place.1 We want to do our part to protect the environment, and we’d like your help.

UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal Password Owners can help save energy and natural resources by turning off mail delivery of letters in the Paperless Delivery Options tool. Claims users can view and download claim letters in Document Library, and Prior Authorization and Notification users can do the same for prior authorization letters.

If all health care providers switched to paperless delivery for UnitedHealthcare claims letters, the effects would be staggering! 

Ready to get started?

Ask your UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal Password Owner2 to turn off mail delivery using the Paperless Delivery Options tool. 

Good for You

How much time and money does your organization spend opening, routing, storing and disposing of the mail you receive? Just think how much you could save if you turned off mail delivery and viewed UnitedHealthcare letters online!

  • Email notifications when new letters are added. Notifications can be turned on for individual users and/or group mailboxes in Paperless Delivery Options.
  • Letters are added to Document Library the day they’re generated so there’s no need to wait for them to be printed and mailed.
  • Organized folders and multiple search options make it easy to find specific letters.
  • Claims and Prior Authorization and Notification users already have access to these letters. Check it out now!
