Starting Wednesday, October 1, Ascension Wisconsin hospitals and providers will be out of network for patients enrolled in certain UnitedHealthcare insurance plans, as the two parties have failed to resolve a contract dispute.

This comes after months of negotiations. Multiple patients have reached out to TMJ4, concerned about the impact.

People enrolled in the following plans are affected:

Employer-sponsored and individual commercial plans

Medicare Advantage plans, including Group Retiree and Dual Special Needs Plans (DSNP)

UnitedHealthcare Community Plans in Wisconsin (Medicaid)
