UnitedHealth accelerates ~$2B in payments, support to health providers

Aimed at easing short-term financial pressures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) is accelerating payments and other financial support to front-line healthcare providers.
It has also suspended prior authorization requirements to a post-acute care setting and when a member transfers to a new provider.
Other measures include extending timely filing deadlines for Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and Individual and Group Market health plans and implementing provisional credentialing to make it easier for out-of-network licensed clinicians to participate in UNH networks.
