In a statement, Bon Secours said, “We are pleased to share that we have reached a new agreement with UnitedHealthcare in South Carolina to help ensure our patients continue to have access to high-quality, compassionate care.”
It added that Bon Secours providers and facilities in South Carolina, including all buildings on St. Francis Hospital campus, physician practices across the Upstate, ambulatory surgery centers and urgent care locations are still considered in-network for patients with the following UnitedHealthcare insurance:
o If you have commercial (employer-sponsored) insurance.
o If you have Medicare Advantage insurance. o If you have Exchange (Marketplace/Affordable Care Act) insurance.
o If you have insurance with the Veteran’s Affairs Community Care Network (VACCN).
“As a ministry, our goal is to establish long-term agreements with all major insurance payers, like UnitedHealthcare, so we can deliver high-quality health care to patients in the communities we serve,” Bon Secours said.
