UnitedHealthcareOnline® Scorecard

New Scorecard Tracks Service Performance on UnitedHealthcareOnline!

UnitedHealthcare is committed to transparency and to improving the service we provide to physicians and other health care professionals. As part of this commitment, we have developed a new online tool that allows physicians and their offices to track our performance on several key administrative initiatives - the UnitedHealthcare Scorecard.

The scorecard provides an at-a-glance graphical view of how we are performing in several important service areas. Each graph will be updated with new data each month.

Service areas tracked include:
  • UnitedHealthcare for Health Care Professionals telephone line service, including average speed of answer and percent of calls answered within 90 seconds
  • Transactions, including claims financial accuracy, use of electronic payments and statements (EPS) and volume of self-service transactions
  • Notifications telephone line average speed of answer
  • Credentialing turnaround time
  • Percentage of claims processed via Real-Time Adjudication
The data used to create the graphs is based on claims processed on the UNET platform. These graphs do not include data from the claims systems of acquired entities or government programs.

The scorecard can be viewed at UnitedHealthcareOnline.com > Tools & Resources > Scorecard.
