The impasse between Blue Shield and Fresno’s Community Health System continues to drag on. For nearly three weeks, 12,000 enrollees have been unable to get in-network coverage.
Blue Shield claims Community terminated the contract, but the healthcare system states the insurance company did not grant another extension.
Among those caught in the middle are 5,000 city employees. City leaders say it is time to cut Blue Shield out of the process and, instead, negotiate directly.
