Across Pennsylvania, patients, families, and health care providers are feeling the strain of an unsustainable system — and UnitedHealthcare is pushing it to a breaking point.

Despite our good‑faith efforts, we have not yet reached a fair agreement with UnitedHealthcare. If no agreement is reached, as many as 50,000 more patients with UHC commercial plans will be forced out of network on April 26, disrupting access to care and severing relationships with the clinicians they know and trust.

Our commitment to our patients is unwavering. We will continue to fight for fair, responsible agreements that put patients first and ensure people can get the care they need from the providers they choose.

Thank you to Sarah Ackerman, DNP, CRNP, Enterprise Lead for APC Professional Development, and Melissa Coulter, CRNP, for their insights and dedication to our students’ success!
