YRMC, Blue Cross Blue Shield Negotiations Extended Again

2/3/23

There’s been another extension on negotations between Yavapai Regional Medical Center – Dignity Health and Arizona Blue Cross Blue Shield. Both sides will now have until February 6th to hammer out an agreement. Last week, YRMC announced it was leaving the Blue Cross Blue Shield network due to pricing issues. This would impact thousands of Tri-City area residents. With negotiations extended, Blue Cross Blue Shield customers can still maintain their in-network access to YRMC. A release from YRMC Dignity Health stated, "We want to make clear our commitment to our patients in Yavapai County. We continue to work around the clock to reach an agreement that will enable us to put patients first and continue providing essential medical services to the community.”
