More United Healthcare patients to lose coverage

ALBANY, N.Y. ( NEWS10 ) — More United Healthcare patients will lose coverage for services at St. Peter’s Health Partners this weekend because of an ongoing contract dispute.

SPHP will be out of network for those with Medicaid and Essential Plan Health Coverage starting on Sunday, Sept. 1. New York State law gave those patients a 60-day extension after the previous contract expired July 1.

Some patients may qualify for continued care if they are pregnant or being treated for a chronic condition. Patients should call the number on the back of their insurance card.
