2/8/23

Representatives from Yavapai Regional Medical Center – Dignity Health and Arizona Blue Cross Blue Shield have again extended their negotiations through Wednesday. YRMC announced it planned to leave the Blue Cross Blue Shield network due to pricing issues. A release from YRMC states, "The team at YRMC continues its efforts to do everything possible to protect patient access to the hospitals and services they know and trust. We will continue working with Blue Cross Blue Shield in good faith to reach a new agreement that protects patients’ access to local and high-quality health care services. We do not underestimate our responsibility as the region’s high-quality health care provider, and do not take lightly the inconvenience this negotiation has caused for our patients with Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage.”
