After we wrote this story on @uhc, there was a huge public outcry. Now, the health insurer is backing off of its controversial prior auth policy on gi procedures statnews.com/2023/06/02/uni…
Angus Rohan Chen@angRchen

On June 1st, UnitedHealthcare @UHC will implement a policy that will make it harder for people are most likely to get #colorectalcancer to get access to colonoscopies. Read here from me and @statnews statnews.com/2023/05/15/uni… 🧵 to follow with some details!

Congratulations to the medical community for convincing @UHC from adopting their previously announced prior authorization policy but perhaps the "jury is still out" on how their modifications may impact clinicians. lnkd.in/eTjWZ7FV

So initially I was all “victory!” But then once explained to me, I was like “why can’t everything be open and honest” rather than “sneaky and slimy.” Keep fighting the good fight, AGA! I am in it with you! 💙

Today, @UHC implemented an ambiguous Advance Notification Program in place of its #priorauth policy for GI endoscopy. What does this mean? It is a temporary delay. It will be detrimental to patients & lead to more admin burdens. 😠 Details: ow.ly/PanN50OBYtO. #StopUHC 🚫

Don't be fooled by @UHC's PR stunt to allow endo for now, but bury MDs under paperwork & then implement the same flawed GI endo #priorauth when they launch the Gold Card in 2024. We'll be fighting this same fight again the fall for sure!

🤔 "But facing sharp pushback from physician groups, the insurer late Wednesday announced it would instead put in place an alternative advance notification process that requires clinicians to collect and submit patient data before performing a procedure." axios.com/2023/06/01/uni…

This is NOT a victory. @UHC will implement an advanced notification program to get data that they don't have to prior auth #GI in 2024. Its blackmail: if you don't play, no Gold Card which they admit only 10% of docs will. Don't be fooled. #STOPUHC axios.com/2023/06/01/uni…

If @UHC really wanted to improve patient outcomes and address over and underutilization they would: ☑️ share data ☑️define the problem ☑️work w/ GI to educate all providers They refuse because this in not about patients, its about profits. #STOPUHC

@UHC heard us, but employed a PR stunt to deflect bad publicity & enacted a hastily constructed, equally flawed Adv Notification Program. @axios & others are reporting it as it really is. We must keep fighting! axios.com/2023/06/01/uni…

We hope ⁦@UHC⁩ heard the voices of our #ibd pts who are tired of having every aspect of their care 2nd guessed by insurance companies. Prior auth for every IBD-related procedure will delay impt medical decisions. ⁦@CrohnsColitisFn⁩ ⁦@AmerGastroAssn⁩

@UHC's move is NOT A VICTORY! It's a temporary stay. UHC will absolutely implement the flawed #priorauth program to run w/ the Gold Card program & we’ll be in the same place this fall. We can't stop fighting! The Adv Notification Program has its own set major issues🤦‍♀️Read on...
American Gastroenterological Association (AGA)@AmerGastroAssn

Where's the data, @UHC? The Advance Notification Program being implemented today won't help patients — ultimately, it will control access to life-saving procedures & could be WORSE for patient care. @barbarahjung and @Shivan_Mehta explain in @MHExecutive. ow.ly/LbKH50OBPsQ

The Foundation held a rally outside of United Healthcare’s Minnesota headquarters to protest UHC’s expansion of prior authorization for most physician-prescribed endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures. Thank you to all the organizations that helped make this day successful.
