Matzav.com has confirmed that United Healthcare Community Plan of New Jersey, which had terminated Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) as of July 1, has officially rescinded their termination. This will allow all patients who are part of United Healthcare Community Plan of New Jersey to receive coverage for services at the renowned medical center on Civic Center Blvd in Philadelphia.
This development was independently confirmed by Matzav.com with upper management of the hospital and those in the know.
This is a significant breakthrough, as United Healthcare is the only insurance currently accepted at CHOP, and the anticipated termination in 2-1/2 months would have greatly negatively affected from frum patients, especially those non-oncology patients who would not have receive a continuance of care.
Now, CHOP will remain in network for all United Healthcare Community Plan of New Jersey enrollees.
As reported prior by Matzav.com, Dr. Reuven Shanik terminated an agreement with United Healthcare Community Plan of New Jersey, affecting his 25,000 patients on the plan as of July 1.
