Termination of UHC
After several months of negotiations, our group has given official notice to terminate our contract with United Healthcare. Based on the contract, this will become official within 90 days.
Representatives from UHC failed to keep at least two previous scheduled meetings after the physicians cancelled patient appointments to meet with them. During the meeting on Thursday, they basically told us that the rates they are paying are competitive and they didn’t really think we could reach a compromise.
The entire medical industry has to change otherwise patients access to providers will continue to decline. This is only the beginning for our local area.
The following is the letter we handed them before they left our office. We hope that patients and employers will begin to notify United Healthcare of their dissatisfaction and help put some pressure on them.
