Hello All,

As you might know, UNO and UNMC switched to UMR for their employees. Does UMR operate under UHC? and does anybody know

if their fee schedule is similar to UHC, which is quite low for masters level therapist?

I appreciate your response.

Thank you.

UMR panels separately from UHC though it is under UHC. Coeur Group providers are all Tier 1 providers with UHC as we

panel through Methodist. Methodist has UMR also.

United Healthcare, UMR, and Optum are all under United Healthcare, correct?

Some people from the med center are asking for and getting a 6 month grace period for their providers to be paid as if

in-network, even tho they aren’t in-network, and I believe they aren’t having to write off the part of their fee that is

beyond the allowable. Not sure how this is working but this is what I have heard from others. So if you have a client from

last year whose insurance changed from BCBS to UMR, you might see if they can ask for that grace period (4 months of it

left).
