Thousands of Memorial Hermann patients will be covered once again after the hospital came to an agreement with Texas' largest insurer
HOUSTON, Texas -- Nearly 200,000 Memorial Hermann Hospital patients can take a deep breath after the hospital system announced on Friday that it has reached a deal with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas.
Both organizations announced they no longer had a contract, meaning patients would have to pay out-of-network costs. "Through determined efforts on both sides, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas has reached an agreement with the Memorial Hermann Health System and its physicians," the insurance provider said in a statement."The new four-year agreement allows BCBSTX members continued access to Memorial Hermann hospitals throughout the Houston region while expanding future access to Memorial Hermann providers for our Blue Advantage HMO members.
This means that in-network access to Memorial Hermann's hospitals, facilities and affiliated providers is restored for our patients with BCBSTX commercial PPO/POS, EPO, Blue Essentials HMO, and Medicare Advantage HMO/PPO health plans, and they will not experience any further disruption in their care, effective immediately.
