Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas and Fredericksburg-based Hill Country Memorial Hospital reached a contract agreement June 16 to keep the hospital in network and avoid disruptions in service, according to the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post.
The agreement comes after months of negotiations and will continue the hospital's participation in the payer's PPO/POS, Blue Essentials and Traditional Indemnity networks, with additional networks to come.
"Hill Country Memorial is pleased to have reached a new agreement with BCBS,” Hill Country CEO Jayne Pope told the Post. "We look forward to continuing to provide access to highly-quality healthcare services close to home for our BCBSTX-insured patients for years to come."
