Big News: United Healthcare & United Concordia Elite Plus — What It Means for Your Practice
By Shelley, CEO & Founder of PPO Advisors
If you’ve been paying attention to the latest insurance developments, you may have heard the announcement about United Healthcare’s new relationship with United Concordia Elite Plus, set to take effect in May 2025.
As always, when two major players in the dental insurance world join forces, the ripple effects can be huge — but what does this mean for your practice, your contracts, and your reimbursements?
Here’s what I’ll say for now:
👉 Some providers will be automatically added in-network under this new agreement — unless they act.
👉 Others could see a surprising downgrade in fees if they’re not careful.
👉 And not every United Concordia network is included in this deal — which could lead to some unexpected gaps if you’re not clear on the details.
Sound complicated? That’s because it is — but don’t worry, this is exactly what we specialize in navigating.
We’ve been diving deep into this new agreement, analyzing the fine print, and looking at real-life client examples to understand who’s at risk, who stands to benefit, and what strategic steps should be taken before May rolls around.
If you’re wondering how this impacts you, your existing contracts, or your fees, let’s have a conversation. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation, and making the wrong move could mean years of lost revenue.
