​Notice: UnitedHealthcare Members and Johns Hopkins
On August 25, 2025, UnitedHealthcare (UHC) and Johns Hopkins decided to end their contract together. This means that Johns Hopkins providers and facilities are now out-of-network for UHC members, including UHC members in Maryland Medicaid.
If your Maryland Medicaid health plan is UHC and you currently see a Johns Hopkins doctor or go to a Johns Hopkins facility, your care may change. Johns Hopkins providers and facilities are now out-of-network for UHC members. To avoid unexpected bills, use an in-network UHC Medicaid provider. To find in-network UHC providers, search online at myuhc.com or call 800-318-8821.
If you are a UHC member but do not get care at Johns Hopkins, nothing changes for you.
For more information, read our FAQ. For questions or help call UHC member services at 800-318-8821 or the HealthChoice Helpline at 800-284-4510.
The Maryland Department of Health's top priority is to support Maryland Medicaid members and protect their access to coverage.
NOTICE: HealthChoice Managed Care Members - No New Medicaid Priority Partners Members
Priority Partners is not accepting new enrollment as of March 17, 2025, until further notice.
Please choose from one of Maryland Medicaid's eight other quality health plan options. View the MCO Comparison Chart to help you pick the best one for you.
On February 19, 2025, the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) suspended Priority Partners' health plan accreditation for not meeting certain quality standards. This action does not change your current coverage, benefits, or access to care. Priority Partners is still a Maryland Medicaid health plan and will keep serving members.
If you have any questions or concerns about Priority Partners or your health plan coverage, call the HealthChoice Helpline at 800-284-4510.
