April 27, 2023
Grady Health System and UnitedHealthcare have reached an agreement that provides people enrolled in UnitedHealthcare employer-sponsored, individual and Medicare Advantage plans network access to Grady’s hospital, facilities and physicians, effective May 15, 2023.
The new multi-year relationship will provide Georgians access to Grady Memorial Hospital, Grady’s six neighborhood health centers, and its brand-new outpatient center, Correll Pavilion.
“We are excited about this new relationship and look forward to serving UnitedHealthcare members at Grady Health System,” said Anthony Saul, Grady’s chief financial officer. “Working with insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare allows us to ensure increased access to high-quality, cost-effective care for our community.”
Grady is one of the largest safety net health systems in the United States. With its nationally acclaimed emergency medical services, Grady is the only nationally verified adult Level I trauma center in the Metro Atlanta region and serves as the 911 ambulance provider for the city of Atlanta. Grady’s Walter L. Ingram Burn Center is the leading adult and pediatric burn center in north Georgia while the Marcus Stroke and Neuroscience Center is a Joint Commission designated Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center.
“Our new relationship with Grady offers the Georgians we serve expanded access to quality, affordable care in the Atlanta area and surrounding communities,” said Bryan Palmer, CEO of UnitedHealthcare in Georgia. “We are grateful for Grady’s collaboration as we work together to improve the quality and cost of care.”
In Georgia, UnitedHealthcare serves approximately 1.2 million people with a network of more than 160 hospitals and 43,000 physicians and other care providers statewide.
