DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – Essentia Health has announced that an agreement has been reached to keep the facility as an in-network provider for the United Health Care (UHC) Medicare Advantage plan in 2025.
In September, Essentia Health said they would no longer serve as an in-network provider for the plans administered by UHC and Humana effective in 2025.
At that time, Essentia indicated that those plans included excessive prior authorization requirements and denied approval of care at more than twice the rate of other Advantage plans.
Many of those concerns have now been addressed by UHC and the agreement will keep Essentia as an in-network provider for the UHC Medicare Advantage Plan.
The agreement does not cover the Humana Medicare Advantage Plans which will be out-of-network at Essentia in 2025.
