UnitedHealth tells Hospitals about Envision ER contracts

UnitedHealth (UNH) plans to treat emergency room and other hospital services performed by Envision Healthcare (EVHC) as out-of-network claims starting next year after failing to reach a new contract deal with the staffing company, Reuters reports, citing a letter sent by the health insurer to 300 hospitals. The move comes 90 days ahead of the January 1 date for the out-of-network switch, and after months of talks between the two companies to settle disagreements over payment rates and other financial incentives, the report says, citing UnitedHealth spokesman Stephen Shivinsky.
