United Concordia Announces a Lease Partnership Arrangement with Ameritas

Many of you may have received letters from United Concordia this week announcing that effective October 1, 2017, they will be entering a lease partnership arrangement with Ameritas.This new arrangement will give providers access to Ameritas and plans administered by Ameritas through their current United Concordia contracts.

This means that providers currently participating with United Concordia directly, will be reimbursed based on their current United Concordia PPO fee schedule for plans that are administered by Ameritas. 

Please be advised that we are aware of this new partnership and are working diligently to determine how this impacts your office. Once we are able, we will begin making recommendations and taking necessary next steps. 

Lastly, United Concordia has advised that a few of these letters were also sent in error to providers who are non-participating. A retraction letter will be sent within the next week for those providers from United Concordia.
