SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WCIA) — A year after Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) kicked Springfield Clinic, along with its 450 doctors and 200 advanced practice nurses, out of network, a top executive revealed that the clinic is “not optimistic about an agreement.”
In response to an update request from WCIA 3 Thursday, Chief Financial Officer Chase Hammon said Springfield Clinic is “disappointed” that efforts to restore a previously decades-long relationship with the largest insurer in Illinois “have not been more fruitful.”
