United Healthcare Contract Negotiations
Due to a contract dispute between UnitedHealthcare and Ascension Wisconsin, we understand many of our patients have questions and concerns. We want to reassure you and provide clarity regarding your care.
We are still in-network with UnitedHealthcare, and that contract remains in effect until October 1, 2025. Please note that even if you receive a letter from UnitedHealthcare stating otherwise, you are still covered for your appointments with us.
If you have an upcoming appointment, please do not cancel it at this time. We are closely monitoring the negotiations and will provide updates as soon as they become available. Our goal is to ensure you continue to receive the care you need with as little disruption as possible.

We appreciate your patience and will keep you informed of any changes.
The UroLift® System Treatment
What is the UroLift System?
Treatment with the UroLift® System uses a minimally invasive approach that provides rapid relief and recovery of BPH symptoms.1 It is an earlier treatment option that can get men off BPH medications and avoid major surgery. The goal of the UroLift System treatment is to relieve symptoms so you can get back to your life and resume your daily activities.
The UroLift® System treatment has demonstrated a significant improvement in quality of life for patients that is greater than reported for medications.2,3 The UroLift® System is the only BPH procedure shown not to cause new and lasting erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction*, while being a safe and effective treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH.1,3-6
How Does The UroLift® System Work?
The UroLift® System uses a revolutionary approach to treating BPH that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. It is the only available BPH treatment performed by a urologist that does not require heating, cutting, or removal of the prostate tissue. The procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia in a physician's office or ambulatory surgery center. Patients typicall return home the same day without a catheter.1
