UnitedHealthcare Harmony Network Update UC San Diego Health
Carrier Updates
Thursday, November 12 2026
Effective January 1, 2027, UC San Diego Health and its affiliates will no longer participate in UnitedHealthcare’s Harmony Network in San Diego County. The change affects members enrolled in plans using the Harmony Network who currently receive care from UCSD providers. UCSD and its affiliates will remain available through the UnitedHealthcare Alliance Network.
Impacted members are being contacted directly with information about the change and available options. Members undergoing active treatment may also qualify for Continuity of Care, which could allow them to temporarily continue treatment with certain UCSD providers when clinically appropriate.
Brokers should work with affected groups early, particularly those renewing January 1, to identify members who rely on UCSD physicians, hospitals, or specialists and evaluate available network alternatives. Members can verify current provider participation through myuhc.com or contact UnitedHealthcare Customer Care using the number on their ID card. Groups that want to maintain broader access to UCSD should review applicable network options, including the Alliance Network, as part of their renewal discussions.
