After a financial dispute between the health system and the payer, UHC warned its Louisville-area Medicare Advantage plan beneficiaries that they should seek alternative healthcare providers to avoid paying higher out-of-network costs through Baptist, according to the report.
In a Sept. 28 letter obtained by WDRB, UHC said that it is “working hard” to keep all Baptist patients in network.
A spokesperson for Baptist would not give WDRB a comment on the dispute but said the health system plans to release more information next week. Baptist did not note how many people are caught up in the dispute.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
