FAQs and Resources
Children’s of Alabama is aware of the ongoing contract negotiations between UAB and United Healthcare. We want to reassure our patients and families that Children’s of Alabama is not a party to those negotiations and remains in network with United Healthcare. However, we understand that UAB employed physicians, who provide a significant portion of specialized care at our Hospital, could be considered out of network beginning July 31 if a resolution is not reached. Children’s of Alabama continues to make specialty clinic appointments for patients with United Healthcare and is not canceling any scheduled appointments working to ensure uninterrupted care for the children and families we serve.
The primary care doctors, including those here at Greenvale Pediatrics, are employed by Children’s of Alabama and are NOT impacted by this UAB/United Healthcare situation.
Patients with questions about their coverage should contact United Healthcare directly.
