GA Modifier Update 2025 for UnitedHealthcare Commercial Plans

The GA modifier is an integral yet minor detail that makes a major impact in the medical billing process, while ensuring providers act within compliance and cover themselves from liability. With UnitedHealthcare’s new update for commercial plans, it’s imperative for providers to correctly append the GA modifier to ensure appropriate documentation. Providers can improve revenue cycle management by giving patients information about services that aren’t likely to be covered, collecting waivers, and upon submitting claims, utilizing the GA modifier.
