Blue Cross Blue Shield

After briefly being dropped from the network, Southwestern Health Resources, which includes UT Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Health, reached a new agreement with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas effective April 1, 2025.

Unsuccessful contract negotiations between Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and Southwestern Health Resources will affect Texas Health Resources and UT Southwestern facilities.

Texas' largest nonprofit health system and its largest health insurer first announced in June that they were at odds over reimbursement rates for health care costs.

If an agreement is not reached by October, Blue Cross and Blue Shield members, in and out of state, will have to pay out of pocket or higher rates for Baylor Scott & White doctors and facilities.

Thousands of patients will lose in-network benefits through the hospital system if the two entities cannot reach a contract agreement before the deadline.

The district accepted an offer from Blue Cross Blue Shield to provide three plans for district employees. Wilson said nearly 1,000 employees have finished their enrollment for benefits for the 2023-24 school year.

The two sides had until Tuesday to renew their contract.

Blue Cross Blue Shield says UT Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Health Resources are pushing to raise prices.
