- Title
Standing Up for Physicians: HealthNet/United.
- Authors
Katz, Matthew C.
- Abstract
The author focuses on the proposed acquisition of HealthNet of the Northeast by United Healthcare and Oxford Health Plans. He notes that United and Oxford will only purchase the insurance licenses for the commercial insurance business of HealthNet of Connecticut, and the renewal rights for the existing customer base of HealthNet in the state. According to the Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS), the proposed acquisition will make health insurance market in the state more costly and reduce the quality of the coverage for consumers.
