The April 2015 issue of the UnitedHealthcare (UHC) Network Bulletin details steps the payer will be taking to ensure that its provider directory includes only those providers who are actively treating UnitedHealthcare members. Beginning Aug. 1, 2015, UHC will terminate agreements for inactive providers who have not submitted claims for a period of one year. Additionally, UHC will inactivate any tax identification numbers (TINs) under which no claims have been submitted for one year.

UHC indicates that it will make efforts to contact those providers who will be impacted by this effort and encourages all providers to review and update their current information in the UHC online directory.
