Rhode Island Medicare Advantage Alert

Medicare Advantage members in Rhode Island face potential care disruptions as UnitedHealthcare and Brown University Health clash over contract terms—failure to agree by July 1 could push Brown-affiliated providers out-of-network for these specific plans, forcing patients to seek new doctors or pay more. While this isn’t the first time, state AGs are watching closely to protect patient access. Crucially, this only affects UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans—not commercial or Medicaid coverage—and emergency care remains covered at in-network rates. If you’re enrolled, check if your providers are still in-network before July 1. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
