An ongoing contract dispute has left both Broward Health hospitals — and many affiliated doctors — out-of-network with one of the state’s largest health insurers, Florida Blue, formerly known as Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Florida. The network contract ended on June 30, 2025.
Hospitals have accused Florida Blue of not paying them enough for care. Florida Blue, meanwhile, is accusing the health systems of wanting too much money.
Both Florida Blue and Broward Health have member microsites available about the dispute.

Even though they were out-of-network, Broward Health’s evaluation and any stabilization measures they took would have been treated as in-network thanks to EMTALA, the ACA, and the No Surprises Act.
