"UnitedHealthcare Drops Prisma From Insurance Network"
Prisma Health, South Carolina's largest healthcare system, is now out-of-network for UnitedHealthcare insurance plan members due to a failure to reach a contract agreement. Prisma Health accuses UnitedHealthcare of not accommodating for inflationary costs, while UnitedHealthcare describes Prisma's requested price increases as excessive. UnitedHealthcare remains open to discussions, while Prisma Health suggests that patients switch to a plan that includes Prisma as in-network during the Medicare Open Enrollment period. UnitedHealthcare will provide continuity of care for certain patients currently undergoing treatment.
