UnitedHealth said Tuesday it had reached a multi-year agreement with Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) to continue providing uninterrupted network access.

"We understand how difficult and deeply personal this negotiation has been for people and their families," said Junior Harewood, UnitedHealthcare CEO, New York.

The agreement covers people enrolled in UnitedHealthcare and Oxford employer-sponsored commercial plans, according to the company.

"We are pleased to renew our relationship and provide continued access to MSK for the people who rely on them for quality cancer care," added Harewood.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
