UnitedHealthcare Community Plan is currently available in 26 New York counties, including Onondaga, Oswego, Cayuga, Madison, Oneida, Herkimer, Jefferson, Tioga, Broome, and Chenango, the company said.
UHC announced the expansion into 13 additional counties back in May.
UHC’s government-sponsored health-insurance programs were already available in New York City and on Long Island and in some areas of Central New York, the health insurer said earlier this year.
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan offers plans for individuals and families who may qualify for Medicaid, Family Health Plus, Child Health Plus or New York Medicaid Advantage. These plans offer coverage that includes prevention, primary care, hospitalization, prescriptions, and other services, “often with little or no cost,” the company said.
UnitedHealthcare has more than 4,000 employees in 18 locations across New York, following “significant” expansion in its Kingston and Tonawanda locations during 2012. The health insurer hired more than 1,000 employees to support growth at these two locations alone, the company said.
UnitedHealthcare, a business of Minnetonka, Minn.–based UnitedHealth Group, Inc. (NYSE: UNH), serves nearly 4 million New York residents with a care-provider network of 232 hospitals and nearly 59,000 physicians and other health-care professionals statewide, the company said.
