Our team is working hard to reach a fair contract with St. Joseph’s Health. We aim to strike a balance that allows us to pay your providers a reasonable rate without substantially raising your health care costs. While most contract discussions between insurers and doctors or hospitals occur privately, some can become public. You’ll likely continue to hear about these conversations as more doctors and hospitals notify you about the possibility of going out of network while contract discussions are ongoing, and an agreement may still be reached.
