7/22/26 - Insurance update!
​
BCBS
No change, coverage continues as usual
​
Optum/UHC/Medica/UCare/UMR
I've applied to be in network with optum which would allow me access to UMR, UHC, Medica, and UCARE.  I anticipate by October that I will be in-network.  
​
Health Partners and Cigna
Both have each accepted my applications for the remainder of the year so I should be able to continue to take those without issue.
​
Medicare
Medicare just recently approved more cuts to reimbursement so I will continue to be able to accept them but it will likely be more costly out of pocket regardless of advantage or supplement plans.
