St. Luke's, UnitedHealthcare go their separate ways
Kansas City Star, September 26, 2008
St. Luke's Health System of Kansas City will stop accepting insurance provided by UnitedHealthcare as of February. The separation comes after nearly a year and a half of trying to come to an agreement. Officials say, however, that a Medicare supplement plan that is administered by United, which insures about 20% of the Kansas City market, will not be affected.
