Baptist Health Statement – Sept. 30, 2024, 4:30 pm
With time still on the clock, Baptist Health remains actively engaged in good-faith negotiations with Florida Blue. Our current contract extends through midnight tonight. We believe a fair agreement is possible to ensure our patients retain uninterrupted access to the high-quality care they deserve.
More Information
Regardless of contract status with Florida Blue, all patients will have in-network access to Baptist Health and Wolfson Children’s emergency rooms. In addition, many patients qualify for continuity of care which extends the period for in-network coverage of all types of care (not just emergency care) past the contract end date.
If patients or families have questions about what care may be covered in an out-of-network scenario, or what other insurance plans are in-network, baptistjax.com/florida-blue is updated often. We also have teams available at 904.202.3247 Mon-Fri, 8 am – 5 pm, to help answer questions for patients.
If an agreement is not reached by midnight, we will continue to be at the negotiating table and would expect the same from Florida Blue. We will not give up.
