The new contract will provide UnitedHealthcare members with continued in-network access to all Renown hospitals and physicians, according to a statement. The contract for UnitedHealthcare subsidiary Health Plan of Nevada has not yet been finalized.

“We appreciate the collaborative approach of both teams to reach a resolution,” Renown CEO Anthony Slonim, MD, told News 4. “As doctors, nurses and caregivers, we want to ensure the greatest access, experience and highest quality care for every member of our community, including those insured by UnitedHealthcare.”

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
