Patients with 3 health insurance plans lose access to Miami health network
The University of Miami Health System announced it will no longer accept three Medicare Advantage plans next year, requiring patients to find new insurance coverage or doctors to get in-network care. As thousands of people in South Florida review their health insurance plans during open enrollment, UHealth says Aetna, Preferred Care Network and Solis Health Plans are going away. The coverage allowing patients to be treated in-network by UHealth doctors and at the system’s facilities will end after Dec. 31, UHealth said in a statement to the Miami Herald. UHealth patients who are affected either need to sign up with new plans accepted by the system or find new doctors and hospitals. UHealth has added two Medicare Advantage plans — HealthSun and Simply Healthcare Plans — that will join the network Jan. 1, 2027. Both plans will include access to UHealth primary care doctors. “We have notified all of our impacted patients about this change, giving them the opportunity during open enrollment to select an insurance plan that includes UHealth,” the system said in a statement to the Miami Herald, which added that the insurance companies dropped the health system.

Is a walkable Miami possible? This 225-mile trail could answer that one day
South Florida isn’t an easy place to walk. All those whizzing cars, disjointed streets and too-short “Walk” signs make life difficult for pedestrians. But local leaders want to prove Miami can join the ranks of walkable cities like New York, Boston and San Francisco, and they’re betting that 225 miles of trails can help solve some of the issues. So, they’re doubling down on the Miami Loop, a countywide network that will connect a labyrinth of walking and cycling paths, corridors and green space. The project has been in the works since 2015, but has stalled several times in the last decade despite support from city and county leaders, transit advocates and residents. The project’s ambitious scale is only partly to blame. Sections of the Miami Loop are still being designed or under construction as individual trails struggle with multimillion-dollar cost estimates. The project is also the ultimate test of whether city, county, state and federal leaders can work together to get the job done. MORE: The Underline’s bike and walk trail is complete. It’s named after a billionaire The Loop falls under the jurisdiction of several local governments, as well as special districts including the Miami Downtown Development Authority,
