If you aren’t satisfied with the outcome of a claim reconsideration request, you may submit a formal claim dispute/appeal using the process outlined in your Care Provider Manual.

  • A formal claim dispute/appeal is a comprehensive review of the disputed claim(s), and may involve a review of additional administrative or medical records by a clinician or other personnel.
  • UnitedHealthcare Community Plan generally completes the review within 30 calendar days. However, depending on the nature of the review, a decision may take up to 60 days from the receipt of the claim dispute documentation. We’ll contact you if we believe it will take longer than 30 days to render a decision.
  • Additional state requirements may apply. Please consult your state’s Care Provider Manual for more details.

Please allow 10 business days from the submission date before requesting a status update to enable us to begin processing the review.

To view current claim reconsideration information, go to UHCprovider.com/claims.
