UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus is in network for the New York City Employees PPO Plan
AI Summary
UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus is now in-network for the New York City Employees PPO Plan, providing coverage for NYC employees and retirees throughout the U.S. (except 13 downstate NY counties). Billing teams must use the NYCE PPO provider portal exclusively for all transactions and use specific EDI payer IDs for claims submission.
Action Required
Immediately: If treating NYC employees with NYCE PPO coverage, billing team must set up access to the NYCE PPO provider portal for eligibility verification, claims submission, and prior authorizations. Do NOT use UnitedHealthcare or UMR portals for these members. Configure EDI clearinghouse to use payer ID 26992 for claims (EDI 837) and payer ID 39026 for payments (EDI 835). Contact Payer ID Provider Support at 866-678-8646 for clearinghouse setup assistance.
