The Impact of Florida Blue & Baptist Health Negotiations on Jacksonville Patients

Jacksonville residents who rely on Baptist Health and Florida Blue for healthcare faced significant changes. Due to a breakdown in negotiations between Florida Blue and Baptist Health, Baptist Health facilities were about to become out-of-network for many patients. At the 11th hour, the two organizations reached an agreement for BlueCross BlueShield In-Network Orthopedic Care.

Unfortunately, shifts like this can result in higher out-of-pocket costs and limited access to the care you need. At Dovetail Orthopedics, we understand the stress this may cause. Fortunately, we are an in-network provider for BlueCross BlueShield and are here to ensure that Jacksonville residents continue to have access to affordable, high-quality orthopedic care.
