A physician-hospital organization in Texas has decided to end its contracts with UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company. The organization, TORCH CIN, represents 45 rural and community hospitals across the state. This decision was made due to reimbursement rates that are considered unsustainable.

The leader of TORCH CIN has expressed concern that these rates pose a significant threat to the existence of rural hospitals. Further details about this situation are available from Houston Public Media.
