NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 11 PRNewswire — HealthLeaders-InterStudy, the leading provider of managed care market intelligence, reports that there could be a shakeup on the HMO front with the pending sale of Mutual of Omaha's group commercial business to rival Coventry Health Care. According to the latest Omaha Market Overview, the combined HMOs will pose a strong challenge to UnitedHealth Group's position as Omaha market leader at the same time the national insurer comes under fire from area physicians and the Nebraska Department of Insurance.

UnitedHealth Group's plans are the largest HMO, fully insured PPO and the only provider of managed Medicaid and Medicare products in the area. However, the company and its United HealthCare of the Midlands unit are under fire from the Nebraska Department of Insurance for a history of late payments, and some physicians are threatening to stop accepting United plans. The Nebraska Department of Insurance will attempt to resolve its issues with the insurer at a hearing later this month.
