If the United Health Care is medical assistance, we (University of Maryland-Dr. Kramer) were dropped by UHC early this year. If it is through his employer, we do take it. However if patient has an out of state HMO, we are not going to be in network with an out of state HMO.

The patient that this pertained to lives in Missouri and not sure if the pertains to other states. be sure to always check and it the case, raise hell with United. I had them once an they were very good. Now I'm not so sure after learning this. If they do not work with one of the best in this field, what next?

Good luck to all that have United Healthcare.

That makes it more confusing. I have a privately paid for plan. I've always been self employed. Talking to Connie on the phone she told me "Dr. Kramer is not a preferred provider for United Healthcare and likely will not be." This is not an AFCA plan. I do not understand "medical assistance". Then there is the issue, I had surgery in Tennessee and they paid w/o me being stuck with a $5900 penalty and the additional 20% of the billed amount. I think she made it very clear to me on the phone that their entire system is an "out of network provider" and not going to be a provider any time in the future.
