UHC: Coverage Policy Update: ESI
Dear interventional pain colleagues and leaders.
We received notice a new United healthcare policy allowing a maximum of three (3) ESI (regardless of level, location, or side) in a year.
These actions by United Health Care must of course be challenged.
Our patients come first.
