Welcome UCare Providers

Closed Specialties

UCare may deem certain specialties and/or regions of the existing provider network as sufficient or adequate according to access and availability standards. UCare regularly assesses the provider network to ensure we are meeting these standards. The specialties listed below are considered “closed.” Currently, UCare is not accepting applications for new providers in “closed” specialties or regions. A specialty can be closed in the Twin Cities metropolitan area while remaining open in areas outside the Twin Cities.
