A federal appellate court reversed a pair of lower court decisions that required UnitedHealth Group Inc.'s behavioral health unit to reprocess 67,000 previously denied mental health and substance abuse claims, Becker’s Payer Issues reports. The March 22 decision by a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a California federal judge's November 2020 order for United Behavioral Health to reprocess the claims and the judge's underlying March 2019 ruling in the class action lawsuit that the claims were improperly denied, the report says.
