AI Summary
Summarized by AI from the source belowMillions of Americans are losing Medicare Advantage plans due to network changes, with significant discontent among hospitals and physicians regarding insurance restrictions. A notable incident saw UnitedHealthcare (UNH) end its contract with Johns Hopkins Medicine in August, removing most Johns Hopkins facilities from coverage. This leads to increased out-of-pocket costs for patients if they seek care from out-of-network providers. The abandonment of a proposed CMS rule aimed at simplifying midyear enrollment changes further complicates the situation for affected enrollees.
