ConnectiCare and UnitedHealthcare Agreements
In 2025 and 2026 respectively, UConn Health reached new multi-year agreements with ConnectiCare and UnitedHealthcare, allowing members to continue seeing their trusted UConn Health providers and seeking care at UConn John Dempsey Hospital as they normally would. As Connecticut’s only public academic medical center, UConn Health plays a critical role in caring for patients across the state, training the next generation of healthcare professionals, advancing research, and serving as a safety net for our communities. The agreements reached with ConnectiCare and UnitedHealthcare recognize the value of that mission and the importance of sustaining it on behalf of Connecticut taxpayers.
