UnitedHealthcare and Duke Health reach multi-year agreement that ensures continued network access to the health system for commercial and Medicare Advantage members while expanding access to care for UnitedHealthcare Medicaid members

UnitedHealthcare and Duke Health have reached a multi-year agreement that ensures continued, uninterrupted network access to Duke Health’s hospitals, facilities and its physicians for people enrolled in the following plans:

• UnitedHealthcare employer-sponsored commercial plans, including UMR
• UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans, including our Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP) and Group Retiree

Our new relationship with Duke also expands access to care for people enrolled in our Medicaid plans. UnitedHealthcare Medicaid members now have network access to Duke Health’s hospitals, facilities and its physicians, beginning Nov. 1, 2024.

We thank our members and customers for their support and patience throughout this process. We are honored to continue supporting all of the people throughout North Carolina who depend on us for access to quality and affordable health care.
