UnitedHealthcare recently announced plans to implement a new prior authorization program for many GI endoscopy procedures in June 2023. AGA quickly activated a campaign to protect our members and patients. Thank you to the hundreds who have taken action.

It’s easy to participate and takes less than 10 seconds.

There’s no question this policy will be harmful to GI patients and delay care while adding to physicians’ already growing burden. We can’t do this without working together – take action now!
