RI Attorney General Peter F. Neronha launched a new website for consumers of UnitedHealthcare’s Medicare Advantage health insurance plan. Recently, Brown University Health and UnitedHealthcare have publicly announced that, absent a breakthrough in contract negotiations, Brown University Health hospitals will no longer accept UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans as of July 1, 2025. “Any sudden change in health insurance coverage can cause consumers to panic, and rightfully so. My Office has recently received many inquiries from concerned Rhode Islanders about how this contract dispute will affect their coverage if a resolution is not reached between the parties. Today, we launched a new dedicated website that addresses questions about continuity of care, emergency and non-emergency coverage, and other important topics. Affordable, accessible health care is foundational to our quality of life, and we hope this resource equips Rhode Islanders with the information they need, should they need it.” – AG Neronha
