No more Inpatient Care Management courtesy faxes

Starting March 1, 2024, we will no longer send courtesy faxes from the Inpatient Care Management (ICM) team before issuing the final level of care review outcome notification. We’re making this change in response to your feedback. 

What you can expect

You’ll only receive a notification once a review has been completed as to whether the member's admission meets the criteria for payment of an inpatient stay. Here’s how we’ll notify you:

• Sign in to the UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal to view the outcome in real time
• You’ll receive a fax of the outcome once the review has been completed
• You’ll only receive a written letter by either fax or mail if the member does not meet inpatient criteria. It will include the outcome rationale and next steps.
