Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas’ more affordable Blue Advantage HMO plan, which offers a narrower network at a lower price, is set to go out of network at Southwestern Health Resources on January 1. The expiration will leave Blue Advantage members unable to access in-network care from providers at UTSW Clements University Hospital or the twenty-nine Texas Health hospitals in the state.
BCBSTX is advising Blue Advantage members to find a new primary care physician who is not affiliated with UTSW or Texas Health or select another plan option during open enrollment to maintain an in-network relationship with the SWHR providers.
