Mount Sinai's contract with UnitedHealthcare has ended, leaving patients to find new care teams. Some patients have already lost coverage at Mount Sinai hospitals, while others will lose it this month. UnitedHealthcare is also removing Mount Sinai-affiliated doctors from its network.
It took Riverdale resident Kelly Foster years to get her Crohn’s disease diagnosed. Once she did, she sought out the specialists at Mount Sinai ’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center to get it under control. “Once I did that, it kind of made sense to just start moving all of my doctors so that it's all in the same system,” said Foster, 58. “I moved my primary care over there and then I recently moved my gynecologist over there.
” Foster is one of thousands of patients facing the prospect of finding whole new care teams as Mount Sinai ends its relationship with UnitedHealthcare, her insurer. When Mount Sinai and United ended their contract amid a dispute over billing rates at the end of last year, some patients with United immediately lost coverage at Mount Sinai hospitals, while others lost it this month, depending on their plans. But United is now upping the stakes beyond hospital care: It's also removing Mount Sinai-affiliated doctors from its network effective March 2
