Hendrick Health issued the following press release Friday morning:

We are pleased to share an encouraging update on our contract negotiations with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX). As we continue working through the details of our agreement, we have extended our contract with BCBSTX through April 30, 2023. Patients with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas coverage will no longer be considered out of network on February 1, 2023 as previously communicated.

This extension will allow additional time to finalize negotiations. We believe a multi-year contract with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas can be achieved soon to ensure our patients will continue in-network access to care at Hendrick Health.

Hendrick Health remains committed to providing the highest level of care available to the communities we serve.
