Ten days before the Medicare open enrollment window opens, you may have to choose between your doctor and your insurance. Door County Medical Center announced on Friday that it will no longer be considered in-network for UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans, following an attempt by the two sides to reach a deal ahead of the enrollment period launch. Door County Medical Center will remain in-network for UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans through December 31st. Emergency services provided at Door County Medical will remain covered under these plans, regardless of network status. However, it is recommended that you contact UnitedHealthcare to determine how your situation is classified. Before the Medicare open enrollment period opens on October 15th, you are encouraged to reach out to Door County Medical Center to find a Medicare Advantage plan that would keep you in-network. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, as of July 2025, more than 34.1 million Americans were enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, representing 54 percent of the total Medicare-eligible population.
