UnitedHealthcare 270/271 Transaction Responses for Members with Coordination of Benefits (COB)

Effective June 4, 2026, UnitedHealthcare will update Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 270/271 transaction responses for members with Coordination of Benefits (COB).

After Enhancement effective June 4, 2026:

Subscriber Benefit Related Entity Name (2110C) When the COB policy is identified as Primary Payer, the UHC policy is now identified as the secondary payer.

NM1*SEP*2*UNITEDHEALTHCARE*****PI*87726~

Subscriber Eligibility or Benefit Information (2110C) Identifies COB primary, secondary or tertiary.
