North Carolina Medicaid: Avoid claim denials

Claims that are missing required transition of care prior authorizations will be denied.

This serves as a reminder that all UnitedHealthcare Community Plan members require prior authorization approval for transition of care (TOC) from another Prepaid Health Plan (PHP). The PHP or the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) must provide record of approval before the member receives services.

Claims that are submitted without an approved prior authorization will be denied.
