While the University of Miami and UnitedHealthcare have announced that an agreement has been reached for student health plans, it should be noted that this agreement only affects student health plans.
Non-student members of the UM community who have employer-sponsored commercial plans, Medicaid (UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Florida) and Individual Family Plans could still be affected by the end of the contract on July 31, 2026.
Members of the Medicare Advantage Preferred Care Network will continue to have access to UHealth’s hospital, facilities and doctors.
Those enrolled in the Florida Preferred Care Network, a Health Maintenance Organization plan with access to prescription medication in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, are not affected.
