SUMMARY: Huntsville Hospital Health System is terminating its relationship with United Healthcare, impacting many local patients as some hospitals will become out of network for United Healthcare policyholders. The decision follows failed negotiations, with Huntsville claiming United Healthcare has not fulfilled its contractual obligations, citing high denial rates on patient claims. Conversely, United Healthcare argues that Huntsville’s demand for a significant fee increase of over 25% is unreasonable, as they are already among the most expensive providers in the region. Both parties claim they are committed to further negotiations to reach an agreement, which will affect various insurance plans starting October 15.

After negotiations between the hospital and the insurer, Huntsville Hospital Health System has sent “notice of termination” to United Healthcare.
