Where is the best place to find this information?

Where do we find that info?

Due to the mobilization of chiropractors and their patients in resistance to the pre-authorization mandate for care, Medicare Advantage United Healthcare has stopped the pre-authorization mandate for therapy and chiropractic services beginning January 13, 2025. Prior authorization will no longer be necessary for the first 6 visits of a care plan, provided those visits occur within an 8-week period. ... See MoreSee Less

Clarification Issued Today. Thanks, Tammy. Providers must continue to submit a prior authorization request for the entire plan of care, including the full duration and number of visits requested. However, for new authorization requests starting on or after Jan. 13, 2025, up to the first 6 visits of a member’s initial plan of care will be covered without conducting a clinical review when the first 6 visits take place within 8 weeks of the first date of service. Only care plans requesting more than 6 visits or care plans exceeding 8 weeks will be assessed for medical necessity. The initial consultation/evaluation still does not require prior authorization.

Please remember moving to a cash based practice is also an option!! We provide a valuable service to the community and it should never be devalued by an insurance company!

Does this include the new Medicare preauths?
