Important Update Regarding UnitedHealthcare (UHC) Coverage
As of October 1, 2025, Madison Medical Affiliates is considered out-of-network with all UnitedHealthcare insurance plans. This change follows the expiration of the contract between Ascension WI & UHC.
We understand how concerning and frustrating this news may be. UHC covers many of our patients and their families, including our own staff. Please know that this development does not change our commitment to providing you with compassionate, high-quality care.
At this time, patients with UHC may experience higher out-of-pocket costs when receiving care at Madison Medical. We encourage you to:
- Review your insurance benefits to understand how out-of-network coverage works under your specific plan.
- Visit UnitedHealthcare’s website or call the customer service number on your insurance card for more information about your options.
- Reach out to our office with questions - we will do our best to guide you and provide support.
While Ascension WI & UHC may continue discussions, we must move forward under this out-of-network status until further notice. We will keep you updated on any changes as soon as we learn more.
For more information, you can visit the official negotiation pages for each organization:
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and trust in Madison Medical Affiliates. We are grateful for the opportunity to care for you and your family.
The UroLift® System Treatment
What is the UroLift System?
Treatment with the UroLift® System uses a minimally invasive approach that provides rapid relief and recovery of BPH symptoms.1 It is an earlier treatment option that can get men off BPH medications and avoid major surgery. The goal of the UroLift System treatment is to relieve symptoms so you can get back to your life and resume your daily activities.
The UroLift® System treatment has demonstrated a significant improvement in quality of life for patients that is greater than reported for medications.2,3 The UroLift® System is the only BPH procedure shown not to cause new and lasting erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction*, while being a safe and effective treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH.1,3-6
How Does The UroLift® System Work?
The UroLift® System uses a revolutionary approach to treating BPH that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. It is the only available BPH treatment performed by a urologist that does not require heating, cutting, or removal of the prostate tissue. The procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia in a physician's office or ambulatory surgery center. Patients typicall return home the same day without a catheter.1
