Blue Cross Blue Shield, CHRISTUS Health Reach In-Network Agreement Texas

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) and CHRISTUS Health have reached a new agreement ensuring that CHRISTUS hospitals, doctors, and facilities will remain in-network for BCBSTX members. This resolution prevents higher out-of-pocket costs and service disruptions for patients relying on CHRISTUS Health across Texas and other regions. The contract, finalized ahead of an August 1 deadline after months of negotiations, covers a wide range of BCBSTX insurance plans including PPO, HMO, Medicaid, and Medicare Advantage. Both organizations expressed a shared commitment to prioritizing patient health and uninterrupted care. Earlier disputes centered on reimbursement rates and negotiation tactics, but the new agreement protects the interests of members and maintains access to quality healthcare services. Patients can find more information on in-network services via BCBSTX’s website or member services.
