UnitedHealthcare will be out-of-network for NEA Baptist patients as of November 15, 2025, if no deal is reached.
If NEA Baptist and UnitedHealthcare do not reach an agreement, NEA Baptist will become the second major hospital in Jonesboro to end negotiations with the insurance provider. St. Bernards Healthcare ended negotiations with UnitedHealthcare May 2024.
Arkansas Methodist Medical Center in Paragould remains the closest major hospital for those with UnitedHealthcare in the Jonesboro area.
