UnitedHealthcare No Longer in Cape Fear Valley Health Network – How Does This Impact You?
Earlier this summer, Cape Fear Valley Health’s hospitals announced that they would be transitioning to an ‘out of network’ status with UnitedHealthcare Medicare. This news impacts tens of thousands of people in Fayetteville and surrounding communities, forcing them to find alternative options for their Medicare needs.
We have already been discussing this news with clients as more and more questions come in, and it’s something we expect will continue to be a major topic of conversation this year and into 2024.
To help us better understand what’s happening, we asked Joseph Dowless, a Licensed Insurance Professional at CLC Financial, to join the show. He’s a Medicare specialist who’s been staying on top of this decision by Cape Fear Valley, and he’ll break everything down for us on this episode, including why this happened, who does it impact, what’s still covered, and what options you have now.
Here are some of the things we’ll cover in this episode:
- What exactly is happening and what caused this decision?
- What is covered and what is not for UnitedHealthcare patients?
- Where else can you go?
- What does this mean for you going forward?
- What you should think about when it’s time for insurance enrollment for 2024.
