Long-term agreement finalized with BSW Health & Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas

WACO, Texas ( FOX 44 ) – Baylor Scott & White Health has announced an agreement has been reached with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas.

BSWH said in a statement that as related documents are finalized, BCBS members will continue to receive in-network care.

This comes after both companies spent months negotiating. In June, an agreement to extend provider and facility contracts to October 1 was announced. This three-month extension meant BSWH providers, hospitals, and other facilities would remain in the network for BCBS members while both parties continued to work to finalize a longer-term agreement.

BSWH originally announced in May that the company would be terminating their physician and hospital agreements with BCBS on July 1 unless agreements were modified. Patients were able to check for options based on their existing plans by logging in to Blue Access for Members . They could also visit the website and call the customer service number on their member ID cards.
