We’re happy to share that Madison Medical Affiliates is once again in-network with all UnitedHealthcare insurance plans, effective October 1, 2025.
Ascension Wisconsin and UnitedHealthcare have finalized a new agreement that ensures continued access to in-network care for all UHC Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid members. Any services received between October 1–13 will also be processed at in-network rates.
We are deeply grateful for your patience and understanding during this transition — and most of all, for the trust you place in us. It’s a privilege to care for you and your family, and we’re thrilled to welcome our UnitedHealthcare patients back with open arms.
As we work through this transition, please be patient with our team — we expect higher-than-usual call volumes over the next few days and will do our best to respond as quickly as possible.
Endocrinology is the medical specialty concerned with hormone production and dysfunction. Endocrine glands produce hormones that regulate metabolism, reproduction, growth and development. They may be overactive or underactive.
Diabetes is an endocrine disease that prevents your body from properly processing the foods you eat. Normally, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin, which assists in transporting the glucose from the blood to cells in the body. A person with diabetes does not produce enough insulin and, consequently, the glucose in the blood rises above normal.
Common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, increased hunger and thirst, weakness and fatigue, and changes in weight. Often, diabetes may be present for years with no symptoms.
Abnormal blood sugars contribute to the loss of vision, kidney and nerve function. Heart disease and strokes are more common if diabetes is not well controlled.
Abnormal function of the thyroid is common. Endocrinologists also have special training in the treatment of cholesterol problems, osteoporosis and many other disorders of the endocrine gland.
