Ascension St. Vincent is pleased to announce it has reached a verbal agreement with UnitedHealthcare (UHC), securing uninterrupted, in-network access to care for patients covered under UHC’s Commercial, Medicare and Medicaid plans.

This renewed agreement ensures that individuals and families with UnitedHealthcare coverage can continue receiving high-quality care at Ascension St. Vincent’s hospitals, clinics and outpatient facilities without disruption.

“This agreement is more than just a contract,” said Don King, CEO of Ascension St. Vincent. “It is a reaffirmation of our Mission to serve all with dignity and compassion.

The organization remains committed to building collaborative relationships with insurers to ensure access to the care people need—especially for the most vulnerable populations.

“We are grateful for the partnership and patience of those we serve as we navigated this important agreement,” added King. “Together, we will continue our healing ministry and our commitment to the health and well-being of our communities.”
