Medical Policies

Please read the below carefully.

By clicking "I agree," you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions expressed below, in addition to our Site Use Agreement.

UnitedHealthcare medical policies have been made available to you as a general reference resource. When reading these policies you agree that:

Our Medical Policy is not your patient's Benefit Plan.

Your patient's medical benefits are governed and determined by a benefit document, either a Certificate of Coverage or a Summary Plan Description. You should not rely on the information contained in this Web site section to determine your patient's medical benefits.

  1. Federal and state mandates and the patient’s benefit document take precedence over these policies.
  2. The patient’s benefit document lists the specific services that have coverage limits or exclusions.

Our Medical Policy does not address every situation and individuals should always consult their physician before making any decisions on medical care.

Medical policies are developed by a committee of physicians and nurses and are based on clinical evidence and peer reviewed medical literature.

  1. These policies are not intended to address every aspect of a clinical situation.
  2. These medical policies are just one of many resources used to support UnitedHealthcare decision-making.
  3. You should exercise clinical judgment in interpreting and applying these policies.

Our Medical Policy is the property of UnitedHealthcare.

The information belongs to UnitedHealthcare and unauthorized copying, use and distribution are strictly prohibited.
