Online Coding FAQs

The data within all the Optum360 online coding reference applications is updated at the end of every month, automatically; there is no need for a separate downloading process. After each update you will have access to the latest codes, rules, policies, and more.

Monthly data updates will be performed the last business day of each month. To accommodate the update process, the applications will be taken offline for a brief period of time, normally from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm Mountain Time in the U.S. Please check the Support link at the bottom of the online coding applications to find the release calendar.

Optum360 online coding reference applications are designed to be run within browser environments that support HTML 5. Prior versions of Internet Explorer or other browsers that do not support HTML 5 compliancy are no longer supported for Optum360 online coding reference applications. Please call 1-800-765-6797 or email techsupport@optum360.com with any questions.

The email with the temporary password is sent from OPTUM_NOREPLY (noreply@optum.com). If the email message is not found in the spam or junk email folder, you may need to request another email message from either your administrator or technical support (1-800-765-6797; techsupport@optum360.com).
