UNITED HEALTHCARE UPDATE: To keep from disrupting patient care, we have decided to stay in network for 2023, but we will be going out of network as of 2024, unless United Healthcare makes significant changes to their policies and processes. This will allow patients ample time to make further arrangements as 2024 comes closer… whether it be paying out of pocket, using out of network benefits or being referred elsewhere. We apologize for the confusion this has caused to our patients and will continue focusing on the minimization of disruptions to patient care. If you have any questions, please speak with our billing department.
