We told @UHC how its GI endoscopy #priorauth program is harmful to those with #CRC symptoms. They didn't listen. Now they aren’t providing details about how it will be implemented & are leaving providers to pick up the pieces. This will hurt patients!

'Stunning' change to United's colonoscopy coverage roils physicians and patients

For patients who have undiagnosed cancer, a months-long delay due to new prior authorization requirements for colonoscopies could be disastrous.

⚠️THIS WILL KILL PEOPLE—Disgusting that @UnitedHealthGrp will now block many colonoscopies using “prior authorization”—doctors are shocked and outraged. Thus, any patient seeking surveillance and diagnostic colonoscopies to detect cancer will first need approval that could delay…
