Digital tools
Our digital solutions are designed to give you the most up-to-date claims status and payment information quickly and easily. Our digital solutions comparison guide can help identify which tools are right for you.
UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal
You can manually process 20 transactions at a time in the portal. The portal is ideal for transactions that aren’t compatible with automated Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and organizations with low transaction volume or minimal IT support.
Document Library houses claim, prior authorization and payment (including overpayment and appeal) information so authorized users can access it right away.
Application Programming Interface
Application Programming Interface (API) is designed to help your organization improve efficiency, reduce costs and increase cash flow. Using automatic data feeds, API distributes information in a timely and effective manner. API is commonly used by practices, facilities, health care systems, vendors, clearinghouses and revenue cycle management companies.
