Our healthcare system is a complex system, but it is still the best in the world. We have access to the best care, the best treatments, and we are finding new and better ways to provide care to our patients.
Unfortunately, our healthcare environment is likely to undergo dramatic changes soon, resulting in limited access to care for patients in communities in Memphis and the Mid-South. mainly because the Tennessee Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBST) recently sent contract termination notices to several Mid-South physician groups and medical facilities.
BCBST is requiring many physician groups and medical facilities to accept significant price reductions or exit the network. These fee savings represent savings of 40% or more for healthcare providers in some cases.
