Harrison, Ark. (November 22, 2024) — North Arkansas Regional Medical Center (NARMC) has been attempting to negotiate with UnitedHealthcare for the Medicare Advantage (HMO) plan. Unfortunately, negotiations have not yet been successful.
Over the past year, NARMC has faced several challenges in working with UnitedHealthcare, including delayed payments, erroneous out-of-network notifications to patients, unresolved rate negotiations, and increased administrative burdens. Despite these difficulties, NARMC remains dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care.
Please rest assured that at this time, your care at NARMC remains unchanged. You can continue to access your NARMC providers and facilities as usual.
We appreciate your understanding and support during this time. Updates on the negotiation status will be communicated as soon as they are available.
In the meantime, if you have questions about the plans with which NARMC and whether your plan is in-network for 2025, please call 870-414-4008 or email
Medicare’s open enrollment period for electing or switching plans for 2025 ends on December 7, 2024, with changes taking effect on January 1, 2025.
