Memorial Sloan Kettering and UnitedHealthcare confirmed the deal was reached July 1, the same day a previous coverage agreement was set to expire. 

“The new agreement, effective today, includes market-aligned rate adjustments consistent with those of other National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers in Manhattan,” Memorial Sloan Kettering said in a July 1 news release. 

There was no interruption of care for UnitedHealthcare members at the health system.
