Phoenix Children’s was set to go out of network with UnitedHealthcare if a new agreement was not reached before June 1. The multiyear agreement allows continued access for UnitedHealthcare members with employer-sponsored and individual commercial plans at Phoenix Children’s Medical Group and Phoenix Children’s Medical Group Urgent Care, according to a June 1 news release from the payer.
UnitedHealthcare’s Medicaid members were not affected by the negotiation and remain in network through a separate agreement, according to the release.
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.
