Florida Blue is the state’s largest health insurer, and it may soon be rejected at Baptist Health facilities.
– If the parties can’t reach an agreement before October, Baptist would be considered out-of-network for thousands of patients, making care unaffordable for many.After months of little progress, we recently had a flurry of negotiations activity with Florida Blue including a demand from them to approve a one-year increase with a promise to figure out the rest of the contract later.
If the calendar turns to October without a new contract, the hospital system says Florida Blue members will have the option to change doctors, choose a different insurance plan or ask for an estimate to continue on a self-pay basis with their Baptist or Wolfson Children’s provider.
