Introducing a first-of-its-kind national Gold Card program

How to check your Gold Card status

UnitedHealthcare recently announced the national Gold Card program, which will reduce prior authorizations in favor of advance notification for some high-performing providers. Provider groups can now view their Gold Card program status in the UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal.

How the program works

Effective Oct. 1, 2024, the program simplifies the prior authorization process for qualifying providers and eligible services. Qualifying providers will need to submit advance notification, which confirms eligibility and network status, but no clinical information will be requested.
