UnitedHealth Group Aug. 1 announced the creation of a gold card program for qualified practices. Under the program, the practices that earn gold card status will not be required to submit prior authorization requests for certain medical, behavioral and mental health services. On Sept. 1, UHG said it will provide a full list of eligible services under the program and publish details on how to determine if your provider group has qualified for the program. The program is set to launch Oct. 1.
