New Hampshire: New, streamlined referral process
If a patient needs to see a specialist, it’s important to get them to the correct care efficiently. With that goal in mind, and to streamline the claims payment process, you’ll now be required to input referrals directly into the UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal.
When the referrals are in our system, they’ll automatically match with the specialists claim, which results in the claim being paid faster and more accurately. You can also use the Provider Portal to check referral requirements, submit requests and see the status of referrals.

Referrals not on file
While this change is meant to improve the process, if we don’t receive the referral from you, it may result in the specialists’ claims being denied and your members’ care being disrupted. This could also result in the specialist requesting a copy of the referral from your office to submit with their reconsideration.
