In June, UnitedHealthcare attempted to clarify its new advanced notification process, which went into effect on June 1, in the wake of confusion among physicians and industry groups.
Through the program, physicians and practices will be required to submit advanced notification before completing a number of non-screening GI procedures, providing UHC with patient demographic and health data.
Providers who participate in the data collection will be eligible for a UHC “gold card” program, which is set to launch in 2024.
