Summary

UnitedHealthcare is distributing LGBTQIA+ Affirming Provider Designation toolkits (welcome letter, postcard, badge reel, lapel pin, table tent, talking points) to providers who have already earned the designation. This is an informational announcement about physical materials shipment requiring signature delivery. Providers interested in earning the designation must complete three online modules covering transgender/gender-diverse/intersex patient care, sexual orientation and gender identity affirming documentation, and LGBTQIA+ awareness.
