UnitedHealthcare Provider Credentialing & Enrollment
Quick Answer
Medical professionals can request UnitedHealthcare participation through Onboard Pro in the UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal. Start with a One Healthcare ID and identify the state, legal entity, tax ID and products for your request.
Verified Requirements
- Prepare your NPI, W-9, liability insurance, license and certification details, and work and education history. Verify the payer can access your CAQH data if applicable. See UnitedHealthcare’s medical network instructions.
- A clinician joining a practice that already has a UnitedHealthcare agreement still needs onboarding under that agreement. Select the existing group path in Onboard Pro.
What Varies
UnitedHealthcare has different instructions for medical professionals, ancillary entities and hospitals. Optum Behavioral Health has its own application paths.
Common Enrollment Problems
Keep the Onboard Pro reference for each state in a multi-state request. Verify credentialing, contracting and the effective date before billing as a participating provider.
What ProEnrollment Handles
