UnitedHealthcare (UHC) and Providence Hospital
UnitedHealthcare (UHC) and Providence Hospital are currently in contract negotiations. UHC has sent correspondence to PEEHIP members who have seen a Providence Hospital provider or visited a Providence Hospital facility within the past year, notifying them that Providence Hospital will no longer be included in UHC’s provider network as of November 15, 2025 unless UHC and Providence Hospital agree upon a new contract. Please note that these negotiations apply only to Providence Hospital and PEEHIP members’ use of other USA Health facilities will not be affected. PEEHIP is monitoring this issue closely. PEEHIP is not a part of the negotiations between UHC and Providence Hospital, but PEEHIP’s goal is to make sure its members have access to all needed healthcare. PEEHIP will continue to update its membership upon any new developments.

UAB and UnitedHealthcare
We are pleased to inform you that UnitedHealthcare has confirmed that PEEHIP members may continue to receive services from UAB and its affiliates at no additional cost to either members or the PEEHIP plan.

This means there will be no disruption in services provided by UAB and its affiliates. If you already have an appointment scheduled or need to seek care with UAB or any of its affiliates, you may keep your appointment as planned. Your care will be covered by UnitedHealthcare just as it has been in the past. For previous updates, read more.
