Important information for United Healthcare (UHC) members
The region’s leading experts in digestive health are together negotiating a new contract that covers the care we provide patients with United Healthcare employer-sponsored, Exchange, Medicaid Managed Care, and Medicare Advantage health plans. The practices impacted include the following: Regional GI (RGI), Digestive Disease Associates (DDA), Main Line Gastroenterology Associates (MLGA), Carlisle Digestive Disease Associates (CDDA), USDH at Royersford, West Chester GI (WCGI), The Center for GI Health (CGI), Hillmont GI (HGI), GI Specialists (GIS), and Southwest GI (SWGI) which are all affiliated practices of U.S. Digestive Health (USDH), a growing collective of gastroenterology practices providing services in Central, Southeastern, and Southwestern Pennsylvania. Our current contract expires at midnight on August 31, 2022. If we do not reach a new agreement, our doctors and facilities will be forced out of United Healthcare’s network effective September 1, 2022.
It’s important to know that nothing changes for now. You can continue to visit our facilities and doctors for care as you normally would.
