Effective April 1, 2026 - Important Insurance Update

UMC & UMC Physicians continue to see patients for in-network UnitedHealthcare products.

However, Texas Tech Physicians (TTUHSC) providers are now out-of-network.

What this means for patients impacted:

1. You can still receive care at our hospital and UMCP clinics

2. TTUHSC provider services are out-of-network

3. If a patient with UnitedHealthcare insurance is seen or cared for by a TTUHSC provider, it could result in higher out-of-pocket costs

We encourage all patients who are impacted by this change to contact UnitedHealthcare to confirm coverage and options
