UnitedHealthcare announced Tuesday that an agreement has been reached with UF Health to restore network access to its health system starting May 5.
According to a UnitedHealthcare press release, the new multi-year contract will allow people to enroll in the following plans to have network access to UF Health’s physicians, facilities and hospitals:
- UnitedHealthcare employer-sponsored commercial plans
- UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Florida (Medicaid)
UnitedHealthcare and UF Health failed to come to terms on a new contract agreement on Sept. 1, 2024, which led UnitedHealthcare to drop UF Health as an in-network provider.
Network access will also be restored to UF Health St. Johns-Flagler Hospital, physicians and facilities enrolled in UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans, including Dual Special Needs Plans, according to the release.
Other UF Health physicians and hospitals in Florida continue to participate in the UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage network, including, but not limited to: UF Health Gainesville, Jacksonville, Leesburg or UF Health Spanish Plaines Hospital.
