Bolingbrook, Ill. (April 1, 2019) — Effective today, ATI Physical Therapy is joining forces with United Health Care (UHC) and will be in-network with UHC in Illinois and Northwest Indiana (Lake County). This partnership provides more choices, locations and clinical experts for UHC members looking to regain their optimal health through physical therapy.
The contract expansion between ATI and Optum includes all UHC commercial products and Medicare Advantage products.
Any UHC member looking to receive physical therapy services will have the opportunity to experience ATI’s award-winning customer service and convenient hours in more than 200 locations throughout Illinois and Northwest Indiana. Additionally, with direct access now available in Illinois, no doctor’s referral is needed for initial treatment by an ATI physical therapist.
Existing ATI patients with UHC coverage will enjoy uninterrupted physical therapy, and they’ll participate under the in-network benefits of their plan. ATI will process all necessary paperwork to transition existing UHC patients; no action is required on the patients’ part. Please note that depending on health care plans, in-network benefits - including deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance - may differ based on each patients’ situation.
“ATI is honored to be part of UHC’s network and to serve patients who have chosen our organization as their physical therapy partner. We understand that rehabilitation and recovery from injuries is a personal journey for each patient and are humbled to help millions of patients in Illinois and Northwest Indiana each year,” says Nate Bard, Chief Growth Officer of ATI Physical Therapy. “We look forward to helping even more patients reach their individual goals through our new partnership with UHC.”
Should UHC members have any questions about the in-network benefits, ATI Physical Therapy, or their physical therapy benefits, they can contact ATI Physical Therapy.
