One of the state’s largest insurance companies and one of Central Illinois’ largest health care providers are still at a rift about in-network coverage.
According to the State Journal-Register, Springfield Clinic sent letters and emails to about 100,000 Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Illinois covered patients who could lose access to their Springfield Clinic doctors on November 17th. The letters criticized BCBS’ record profits earned during the COVID-19 pandemic and said it would adversely impact out-of-pocket medical costs for BCBS patients.
