After a nearly yearlong
dispute, United HealthCare
and Montefiore Health systems have reached a new multi-year agreement.
The agreement restores
access to Montefiore's hospitals, facilities and its physicians effective Dec.
1.
This impacts people enrolled
in United HealthCare and Oxford employer-sponsored plans.
The dispute, which began in
January, has impacted thousands of United HealthCare
patients who use Montefiore's 10 hospitals and more than 200 outpatient
facilities throughout Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties and the Bronx.
