We Accept UnitedHealthcare: Here for Your Orthopedic Needs

If you’ve been following the news, you may have heard that Ascension Wisconsin no longer accepts UnitedHealthcare insurance. For many patients, this sudden change has created a lot of stress and uncertainty about where to go for care.

At Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin (OAW), we want you to know that we’re here for you and accept UnitedHealthcare. Whether you’re dealing with an injury or ongoing pain or need a trusted orthopedic partner, our team is ready to help you make the transition as smooth as possible.

Why Choose OAW?

Specialized Expertise

Our physicians are fellowship-trained surgeons and subspecialists, meaning they’ve gone the extra mile to be experts in their field. From sports injuries to joint replacements to spine care, OAW ensures you can see a highly trained specialist for your needs without disruption.

Access & Availability

With Ascension leaving the UnitedHealthcare network, many patients may suddenly face barriers to scheduling surgeries or visits. At OAW, you’ll still have quick access. Our OrthoASAP walk-in clinic and commitment to seeing most new patients within 7 days ensure you don’t have to wait for the care you need now.

High-Value Care Model

Losing in-network access often means losing the ability to choose the most cost-effective care for your insurance plan. At OAW, most procedures can be performed in our Surgery Center, giving patients excellent outcomes at a lower cost than hospitals. Because we continue to accept UnitedHealthcare, you can keep the cost savings and the quality care.

Independent, Patient-Focused Model

While we work alongside hospital systems, we remain an independent practice. That means network changes like Ascension’s don’t limit your care. We keep things efficient, personal, and centered on your needs.

Streamlined Care Under One Roof

Finding new providers after an insurance change can be overwhelming. At OAW, we simplify the process by keeping everything in one place, including evaluation, imaging, surgery, and physical therapy. UnitedHealthcare patients don’t have to start from scratch or travel between multiple systems. We provide a seamless experience under one roof so you can focus on healing.

What This Means for UnitedHealthcare Patients

If you’ve been affected by Ascension’s decision, you may be looking for a new in-network orthopedic provider. At OAW, you don’t need to worry:

  • We continue to accept UnitedHealthcare
  • We’ll help with insurance questions, coverage checks, and paperwork
  • Our team will coordinate your care and make sure you feel supported every step of the way

Ready to Make the Switch?

Here are some simple steps you can take today:

  1. Call your insurance provider or OAW to confirm in-network coverage.
  2. Schedule an appointment or stop by OrthoASAP for urgent care.
  3. Bring any records or imaging; we’ll take it from there.

At Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin, we believe changing where you get your care shouldn’t mean sacrificing quality, access, or compassion. We’re here to make sure your orthopedic journey feels smooth, supportive, and focused on helping you move without limits.
