Michigan Medicine may reject Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan plans starting July 1 over a reimbursement dispute.
Michigan Medicine warns it may stop accepting certain Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) commercial insurance plans starting July 1 due to a contract dispute over reimbursement rates.
The health system says BCBSM’s latest offer would cut payments by 30%, while BCBSM claims Michigan Medicine seeks a 44% increase.
A 120-day notice sets a June 30 deadline for a new agreement.
The dispute affects only the University of Michigan Health’s academic medical center and affiliated providers, not UM Health-Sparrow, UM Health-West, or Medicare/Medicaid patients.
Michigan Medicine argues it is underpaid compared to other insurers, with BCBSM rates 22% lower, threatening its ability to deliver high-quality care.
Both sides say they want to avoid disruptions, but no new talks have been scheduled.
