Blue Shield of California is continuing to negotiate in good faith with the University of California health system (UC) and Hoag Clinic and facilities (Hoag) to reach agreements that ensure members continue to have access to the system at a reasonable cost and reimbursement rates that are sustainably affordable.
This update is to inform you of contract extensions and member communications for both UC and Hoag while we continue negotiations:
Hoag
We will continue to keep you informed with updates.
This update is to inform you of contract extensions and member communications for both UC and Hoag while we continue negotiations:
Hoag
- Medicare agreements have been extended through December 31, 2025, and they will inform members with a Hoag PCP of the update with letters mailed on June 10, 2025.
- Commercial agreements are extended through July 15, 2025. As this does not substantively change the member experience, they do not plan for commercial member letters regarding the extension at this time.
- The contract end date has extended, slightly, to July 9, 2025.
- Required DMHC communications to HMO members will be mailed June 10, 2025.
- Medicare facility termination letters will be mailed June 10, 2025.
We will continue to keep you informed with updates.
