WakeMed Patients Face Potential 40% Rate Hike

WakeMed patients in Raleigh face potential loss of in-network access to facilities due to United Healthcare ending Medicare Advantage plan negotiations. This could lead to significant out-of-pocket cost increases, up to 40% for certain treatments. WakeMed believes this is part of a broader national strategy by United Healthcare to scale back Medicare Advantage plan offerings. Patients are urged to contact United Healthcare to express concerns, as the November 15th deadline approaches. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
