Becker’s Payer Issues Reports on News That UnitedHealthcare Has Terminated Its Provider Contract with TUHS for Its Medicaid Managed Care Plan

UnitedHealthcare has terminated its provider contract with Temple University Health System for its Medicaid managed care plan after a new deal could not be reached by February 1st. Temple accepted UnitedHealthcare’s termination letter for the insurance company’s Medicaid product, a move Temple Health had to make to ensure it is able to continue to provide patients the high-quality services that its patients and community expect from Temple Health. Temple providers are in-network for a number of other plans, including Independence’s Keystone First and Health Partners Plans, and UPMC for You, and Temple is focused on ensuring a smooth transition of care for the patients and families impacted by UnitedHealthcare’s decision.
