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.
