Ascension Texas Hospitals Potentially Out-of-Network for Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas Plans in 2024

Starting January 1, Ascension Texas hospitals may no longer be considered in-network providers for individuals with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas insurance plans. This change could result in higher out-of-network costs for patients visiting any of Ascension Texas' 12 Central Texas hospitals under these plans. The potential network status change underscores important considerations for payers, providers, and insured members regarding contract negotiations and coverage implications within the Texas healthcare market.
