UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic

Summary: UnitedHealthcare is making a big change. By the end of 2026, they will no longer require "prior authorization" for chiropractic care. This means patients won't have to wait for insurance approval before getting their backs adjusted. Doctors say this is great news because it helps people get fast, drug-free pain relief without relying on dangerous opioid pills. It also cuts down on extra paperwork so doctors can spend more time helping patients. The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) group and chiropractic leaders are working together to make sure everyone has better access to this care.
