We stand with patient groups like @CrohnsColitisFn in the fight to #StopUHCGIPriorAuth. 🚫 Patients do not need more barriers to care.
Today the Foundation held a rally outside of United Healthcare’s Minnesota headquarters to protest UHC’s expansion of prior authorization for most endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures on 6/1. We were joined by @AmerGastroAssn @AMJGastro @College @IAFaccess @ColonCancerCoal
Think @UHC's prior auth policy for GI endoscopy won't affect you? Think again, AGA president @barbarahjung writes in @FierceHealth. It will delay patients' access to treatment & set a dangerous precedent with other insurers. #StopUHCGIPriorAuth now! 🛑 https://t.co/IVksBS8e94
.@UHC – it’s not too late to reconsider your prior authorization program for GI endoscopy procedures. #GITwitter, share this to spread the word and #StopUHCGIPriorAuth.
❗Prior authorization delays access to care❗
As an IBD doctor, @ibddocmaria sees firsthand how prior auth is harmful to #IBD patients. Patients don’t need more barriers to care. That’s why we’re partnering with the @CrohnsColitisFn to #StopUHCGIPriorAuth.
Happening tomorrow! Come advocate for patients' access to care and #StopUHCGIPriorAuth with @CCfdnMinnesota @CrohnsColitisFn.

On Friday, we – along with @AmCollegeGastro & @ASGEendoscopy — met with @UHC. UHC verbally offered to trade the June 1 policy with a poorly defined, complicated administrative process. We will not compromise on patient health. https://t.co/keEJO9UKR9

Incoming AGA president @barbarahjung on why we need keep up the pressure to #StopUHCGiPriorAuth https://t.co/mjwDMhNQH1
❗Patients need to be put first❗
Requiring prior authorization for GI endoscopy procedures will delay care and lead to poor outcomes like hospitalization, @AasmaShaukatMD writes in @medpagetoday. This is why we need to #StopUHCGIPriorAuth! 🛑 https://t.co/DbQv7uDEMF
@UHC reconsider your GI prior auth program. Despite your claims this is about patient safety, making #IBD patients wait for care & force them to go to the ER is NOT in the best interest of patients. #StopUHCGIpriorauth
“If I have to wait one, two or three weeks, that can land me in the hospital and the emergency room and that’s costly to me."
@UHC, don't make it harder for patients like @ShayHarAnn to receive care! Reconsider your GI endoscopy prior auth program. https://t.co/dtA1BX3yMM
Thank you @BilalMohammadMD for using your voice to advocate for patients! Let's work together to #StopUHCGIPriorAuth 💪🏽

@UMN_GIHep @nataliejowilson @BJHansonMD @VictorChedidMD @SaraHassanMD @MayoClinicGIHep
Thank you @kalltucker for covering this important topic. AGA is in it for the long haul to #StopUHCGIPriorAuth!
Thanks to @IBDDocMaria and @colorofcci for working with AGA and @USATODAYhealth to bring attention to how prior auth delays care!
Doctors are raising concerns about UnitedHealthcare's policy to require authorization before some colonoscopies and cancer scopes. https://t.co/Arg6RrjVz0
Thank you @InHealthPolicy for shining a light on the impact of @UHC GI prior auth policy will have on screening & health equity. #StopUHCGIpriorauth @AmerGastroAssn
Gastro Docs Demand United Reverse Prior Auth Changes Set For June 1 https://t.co/kltudWQj1d
@LLacasseACSCAN @ACSCAN While in MN you should call on @UHC to #StopUHCGIpriorauth program from going into effect. It will delay patients being screened for CRC, gastric and other GI cancers! Patients who have a non-invasive screen who need follow-up colo will be delayed in getting care.
This is who we’re fighting for! Patients need to have access — not delays — to lifesaving treatment. @UHC’s #priorauth program for GI endoscopy will have life altering consequences for those who need it the most. @askUHC — reconsider this tone-deaf program. #StopUHCGIPriorAuth
Starting June 1, doctors will be required to obtain prior insurance approval for endoscopies, resulting in restricted access to this life-saving procedure. @UHC - please reconsider this decision and help us save lives!
Let's fact check @UHC's claims on why the GI endo #priorauth program is needed.

⚠️THIS WILL KILL PEOPLE—Disgusting that @UnitedHealthGrp will now block many colonoscopies using “prior authorization”—doctors are shocked and outraged. Thus, any patient seeking surveillance and diagnostic colonoscopies to detect cancer will first need approval that could delay care by “weeks/months”, if ever—else have to pay out of pocket for $$$$. ➡️Colonoscopy is one of the most sensitive tests currently available for colon cancer screening. Endorsed worldwide—Colonoscopy is the only cancer screening technique that can actually prevent cancer and not just detect it—any delays increase cancer mortality. @UHC basically just told its @askUHC members to roll over and die. @UnitedHealthGrp, and any other insurance that does this, can goto hell. #MedicareForAll #universalhealthcare
