Mergers Limiting Choice - Part III

In a follow up to this post about United Healthcare and HCA (HealthOne): to date, UnitedHealthcare and HCA (HealthOne) have been unable to reach an agreement in Colorado. Effective September 1, 2006, hospitals and surgery centers owned by HCA (HealthOne) are considered out-of-network. As always, emergency services will not be considered out-ofnetwork. Some physicians and other medical providers who were network members through the HCA (HealthOne) system may also no longer be in the network. You should check with your provider before your next visit.
