RACINE COUNTY — Ascension Wisconsin and UnitedHealthCare have reached a new agreement for in-network medical care.
Patients enrolled in employer-sponsored commercial plans, Medicare Advantage plans (including Group Retiree and Dual Special Needs Plans) and UnitedHealthCare Community Plans in Wisconsin (Medicaid) will again have access to Ascension's hospitals and providers in southeast Wisconsin, according to UHC.
The agreement is effective immediately, according to Mo Moorman, senior director of external relations at Ascension Wisconsin.
Ascension held claims for services furnished between Oct. 1-13, so services received by patients during that period will be covered at in-network rates and patients should not be billed for out-of-network costs, Moorman said.
Letters will be mailed to members who were previously notified to inform them of UHC's renewed relationship with Ascension Wisconsin and that Ascension Wisconsin is back in-network, according to UHC.
Ascension has several locations in Racine County, including sites on Spring Street and Wisconsin Avenue in Racine, Washington Avenue and Green Bay Road in Mount Pleasant, and Four Mile Road in Caledonia.
For assistance finding a hospital or provider, patients can call the number on their health plan identification card or visit their plan's website at one of the following web addresses:
