UnitedHealthcare said Tuesday that it will ease some
administrative rules to give patients more access to care during
the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Minnetonka, Minn., insurance company opened a special
enrollment period from March 23 to April 6, allowing new signups
for workers who had missed earlier opportunities to get
insured.
UnitedHealthcare also cut requirements for preauthorizations
until the end of May for patients to get post-acute-care treatment
and to switch providers.
The insurance company has also waived cost-sharing for Covid-19
testing and related visits, and expanded telehealth services.
