BlueCross and BlueShield of Texas (BCBSTX)– Commercial and Government Contracts
Pending Termination Effective July 1, 2025
CHRISTUS Health hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and physician clinics in Texas have accepted BCBSTX insurance for decades, and we fully intend to continue. However, if we cannot reach an agreement by July 1, BCBSTX customers will no longer have in-network insurance coverage at CHRISTUS Health Texas locations. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section below for more information regarding specific termination information by benefit plan.
We have been negotiating with BCBSTX for months to secure a reasonable insurance reimbursement rate for our health services. BCBSTX’s responses have been unfavorable thus far. However, we will continue to communicate with BCBSTX in hopes of finalizing an agreement.
CHRISTUS Health is working hard to keep health care costs affordable for all while continuing to provide high-quality and compassionate services to our patients and their families. We encourage patients to call the BCBSTX customer service number located on their insurance card to let them know how important it is for CHRISTUS Health hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and physician clinics to remain in network so that they have access to the entire provider network and benefits as a BCBSTX member.
Our emergency departments will always be available, even if we go out of network with BCBSTX on July 1, and we will do all we can to ensure that patients get the affordable, quality care they need and deserve.
In a recent communication issued by BCBSTX they indicated that CHRISTUS Health may not submit patient insurance claims to BCBSTX after June 30. To clarify, CHRISTUS Health will continue to file your insurance claims to BCBSTX on your behalf. For more information, refer to the FAQ section below.
