Brown Medicine is one of the largest nonprofit, academic, multi-specialty medical groups in Rhode Island with practice locations in Providence and the surrounding communities.

Brown Medicine’s mission to incorporate our expertise in patient care, teaching and research into “a greater good” provides heightened meaning and purpose to our work and sets us apart from all other primary care and internal medicine practices in the state of Rhode Island.

Important information for our patients with United Health Medicare Advantage plans regarding Brown University Health (BUH):

Brown Medicine is now part of Brown University Health. While we are currently in the UnitedHealth network, we anticipate that this will change after June 30, 2026. Following this date, we will no longer be in-network, with the exception of the following special needs plans:

UnitedHealthcare Dual Complete RI
UHC Nursing Home Plan (HMO I-SNP, HMO-POS I_SNP, PPO I-SNP)

Brown University Health’s Rhode Island hospitals (Hasbro, Miriam, Newport and Rhode Island Hospital) are out of network for the Medicare Advantage plans, except for the Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP) and the Institutional Special Needs Plan (ISNP), effective July 1, 2025. DSNP and ISNP remain in network.
