Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) and Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Texas have agreed to extend their provider and facility contracts until October 1, 2024, following negotiations. This extension ensures that BSWH providers and facilities will continue to be in-network for BCBS members during this period. However, both parties are still working to finalize a longer-term agreement.
The ongoing negotiations between Dallas-based Baylor Scott & White and Richardson-based Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas have implications for Texas A&M University-Commerce employees and other Texans covered by BCBS health insurance. If a permanent agreement is not reached by October 1st, BCBS policyholders could potentially lose coverage for services at Baylor Scott & White hospitals and clinics.
