According to a Jan. 20 news release from Hendrick Health, the extension will allow the health system and BCBS Texas time to finalize negotiations.
“We believe a multi-year contract with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas can be achieved soon to ensure our patients will continue in-network access to care at Hendrick Health,” the health system said in its statement. “Our goal remains to reach an agreement quickly so there is no disruption in care for our patients.”
Hendrick Health operates four hospitals, including a children’s hospital, and multiple clinics and ASCs, according to its website.
