Johns Hopkins providers leave UnitedHealthcare as talks stall

 Doctors at Johns Hopkins Medicine hospitals and facilities have stopped taking in-network insurance from UnitedHealthcare after Hopkins and the national health insurer failed to reach a contract by a Monday deadline.

Just under 60,000 patients on UnitedHealthcare plans see Hopkins providers in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Hopkins said all of its providers or facilities, except for Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in Florida, are considered out-of-network by UnitedHealthcare as of Monday.

“This means that UnitedHealthcare may cover less, or none, of the care patients with UnitedHealthcare insurance receive from Johns Hopkins providers or at Johns Hopkins locations,” the health system said on its website.
