Warning to the insured, as a deadline looms
“We’re currently negotiating with Prisma Health System in an effort to renew our relationship….” That’s from a letter that insurer United Healthcare mailed to its customers who use Prisma Health, as a January 1 deadline draws closer when Prisma Health might be dropped from United Healthcare’s insurance coverage. But, if no agreement is reached, United Healthcare is telling its customers that: “When you see an out-of-network provider, your costs will increase or you may have to pay the full costs for services you receive.”
