Now would be a great time to call your Federal congressional representatives.

If the amount they pay in premiums doubled, about one in three enrollees in Affordable Care Act Marketplace health plans say they would be “very likely” to look for a lower-premium Marketplace plan (with higher deductibles and co-pays) and one in four would “very likely” go without insurance...

One of my clients has already gotten a call.  MEDICARE will not call you.  These people are trying to steal your Social Security number or your Medicare card number. Be careful. There’s a lot of not nice people out there.

(WDNews) — Medicare recipients across the country are being warned about a growing scam falsely claiming that “new,” “plastic,” or “chip” Medicare cards are being mailed out. Officials say the calls, texts, and messages are fraudulent and part of an effort to steal personal information...

This is from my United Health Broker Representative so its official:

WakeMed Chooses to Leave UnitedHealthcare’s Network
WakeMed has allowed our contract to expire after refusing to move off its demands for an unreasonable price hike. As a result, WakeMed’s facilities and specialty providers are out of network for people enrolled in the following plans, effective Nov. 15, 2025:
Employer-sponsored and individual commercial plans
Medicare Advantage plans, including Group Retiree and Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP)

Primary care physicians employed by WakeMed are not impacted by this negotiation and will remain in our network. People enrolled in our Medicaid plans will continue to have network access to WakeMed’s hospitals and providers. People enrolled in a Medicare Supplement plan can also continue accessing care with WakeMed on and after Nov. 15, 2025.


Here are a few things we want our members to know:

UnitedHealthcare members in active or ongoing treatment for a serious or complex condition at a WakeMed hospital or with a WakeMed provider at the time they left our network are eligible to continue care for a period of time at in-network costs.

Continuity of care allows people in ongoing or active treatment for a serious or complex condition at the time a provider leaves our network to continue accessing care with their provider at in-network rates for a period of time. Some examples of people who qualify for continuity of care include, but are not limited to:

Women who are pregnant
Patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed cancer, or those currently in active cancer treatment.
Any member who believes they are eligible for continuity of care or has questions on how to apply should contact us at the number on their health plan ID card.

We know WakeMed choosing to leave our network is difficult. We want our members to know they continue to have access to a broad network of hospitals and physicians across the Raleigh area, including, but not limited to:

UNC Rex Hospital
UNC Medical Center
UNC Health Johnston
UNC Health Johnston in Clayton
Duke Raleigh Hospital
Duke Regional Hospital
Duke University Medical Center
Wilson Medical Center
Cape Fear Valley Central Harnett Hospital

For support finding in-network hospitals, members can call the customer care number on their health plan ID card or visit their plan’s website:
myuhc.com
myuhcmedicare.com
retiree.uhc.com for Group Retiree plans

People should always go to the nearest hospital in the event of an emergency. Services will be covered at the in-network benefit level, regardless of whether the hospital participates in UnitedHealthcare’s network.

WakeMed’s contract negotiations with United Healthcare have stalled. An agreement must be reached by this 11/15/25 or Wake Med will no longer be an in network provider for United Healthcare Medicare Advantage plan members. This article explains both sides of the situation. Praying this is resolved by Friday.

The contract between the Raleigh health care system and insurance giant UHC expires on Nov. 15. Patients will pay more without a new deal
