Piedmont Healthcare, Blue Cross Sign Agreement
Contract extends into 2021
From Special Reports
Friday night, three days after Governor Nathan Deal announced a handshake agreement between Piedmont Healthcare and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, the two organizations put ink to paper and signed the new agreement.
The agreement ensures that Anthem Blue Cross members can see their Piedmont doctors and visit Piedmont hospitals as “in network” without incurring higher out-of-pocket costs, including covering visits and services delivered since April 1.
While Piedmont will begin calling patients – particularly those who canceled appointments for hospital-based services – all patients who canceled or delayed care during the time of disruption are encouraged to call their Piedmont doctor to reschedule.
The new contract with Anthem Blue Cross extends into 2021.
If patients need to confirm their in-network status with Anthem Blue Cross or make sure that they have been reassigned to their Piedmont primary care physician, they should call the Anthem Blue Cross number on the back of their medical benefits card.
