Effective Jan. 1, 2020, BCBSTX members with Blue Essentials health maintenance organization and Blue Choice preferred provider organization plans will regain in-network access to Kelsey-Seybold physicians. The agreement comes about three years after the organizations abruptly split, pushing roughly 100,000 patients out of network with Kelsey-Seybold’s physicians.
Kelsey-Seybold and BCBSTX said their new agreement is “centered around a commitment to increase access to value-based care for members and patients in the Houston region.”
