Following news last month that United Healthcare would drop more than 2,200 Connecticut Medicare Advantage providers, two medical associations filed suit this week accusing the insurer of breaking Medicare regulations as well as its contracts with providers.
The Hartford County Medical Association and the Fairfield Medical County Association, which represent approximately 3,300 doctors, filed the suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in New Haven.
The suit asks the court to grant an injunction barring United from enforcing its contract amendment with the affected providers.
