The state’s biggest insurer and the region’s biggest health system were unable to resolve their differences on the status of independent physicians affiliated with Memorial Hermann before the contract expired Tuesday.
“Regrettably, we do not believe worked to negotiate with us in good faith, despite our efforts to exhaust all options and offer creative solutions that should have been mutually agreeable to all parties,” the hospital said in a statement. “As a result of its inflexible position, has disrupted care for thousands of our shared patients and members who no longer have in-network access to their trusted providers and more than 265 of the system’s hospitals and care delivery sites. This isn’t right.
Dirk Mateer, an economics professor at the University of Texas at Austin said more often than not, hospitals and insurers eventually renew their contracts. That was the case for UnitedHealthcare and Houston Methodist, which terminated their contract at end of 2019, pushing some 100,000 patients out of network, but finally“The good news is that typically these things get resolved because it is in their best interest to do that,” Mateer said.
“I was really hoping that he would stay my doctor for the last 20 or 25 years of my life,” Zamora said. “This just seems like unnecessary stress to put people under.” “We’re trying to get them taken care of so that there's not a disruption,” McCarthy said. “There are certainly ones that haven't been approved.”
