"UnitedHealthcare-Mount Sinai Dispute Sparks Doctor Switch for Thousands"

Stalled contract negotiations between UnitedHealthcare and Mount Sinai Health System have led to Mount Sinai's hospitals and affiliated doctors being out of network for patients insured by UnitedHealthcare or Oxford, affecting about 80,000 patients. The dispute over pay rates has forced many New Yorkers to find new doctors or risk paying out-of-network prices, particularly impacting pregnant patients and those receiving cancer care. Mount Sinai sought significantly higher prices, but UnitedHealthcare refused, leading to the impending removal of Mount Sinai affiliated doctors from the network starting March 22.

Insurance Battle Puts Mercy Health Patients at Risk

Mercy Health providers and facilities are now considered out of network for patients with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicaid insurance after failed negotiations. The change took effect on July 1, but Mercy Health will continue to serve Anthem patients in Ohio until July 31. Patients are encouraged to initiate a transfer to an alternative managed Medicaid plan to ensure long-term access to Mercy Health facilities and providers. Mercy Health remains contracted with all other Managed Medicaid plans in Ohio and will continue to serve patients under new health plans.
