Erlanger and UnitedHealthcare have reached a new agreement that allows patients with United commercial plans to maintain in-network access to Erlanger hospitals and providers.
“We aim to uphold Erlanger’s longstanding commitment to our community to provide high-quality, compassionate care,” said Jensen Hyde, MD, Erlanger’s chief medical officer. “To do that, we must regularly negotiate and establish mutually beneficial contracts with our insurance company partners. We are pleased to have reached a new agreement that ensures our patients can continue to access the care they need.”
Because the agreement was reached before the previous contract expired, patient care can continue without interruption.
Patients are encouraged to continue scheduling and attending appointments as usual, officials said.
“We appreciate the trust our patients place in us and look forward to continuing our mission to compassionately caring for people,” said Dr. Hyde.
