ConnectiCare in fight over doctors' fees

A contract showdown is building between health insurer ConnectiCare and a group of 154 doctors in Middlesex County, CT. Talks between Farmington-based ConnectiCare and Middlesex Professional Services, which negotiates for physicians, reached an impasse, and the insurer has notified MPS that it won't renew the contract that expires June 30. MPS contends that the current contract must continue another year because the insurer didn't give proper notice of termination.
