MILWAUKEE — Patients are caught in the middle of ongoing negotiations between Ascension Wisconsin and UnitedHealthcare.
Many patients received a letter from Ascension Wisconsin this week, stating that if a deal is not reached by Oct. 1, Ascension will no longer be in-network.
Cindy Jones-Nosacek, among those patients, urges both entities to reach an agreement soon. She feels uncertain about healthcare for herself and her family.
"We heard from UnitedHealth last month that this could happen, and now this week, we got this letter from Ascension. It's pretty scary. I've got a physical scheduled for next month," Jones-Nosacek explained.
