An agreement has been
reached that will keep Harrison Medical Center
“in-network” for First Choice
Health customers.
The hospital and insurance carrier announced a three-year contract extension on Sept. 28.
“We are extremely pleased that we have been able to come to an agreement with First Choice Health on a new contract,” Harrison President David Schultz said in a news release. “This contract allows our patients to have uninterrupted access to all the providers and services Harrison Medical Center has to offer and enhances the financial stability of both organizations.”
Negotiations had hit a sticking point late last summer, with the contract set to terminate Sept. 1. A temporary extension gave the two sides an additional month to negotiate.
About 1,300 Harrison patients are covered by First Choice.
