CommonSpirit to Stay in BCBSTX Networks

Through determined efforts on both sides, BCBSTX reached an agreement with CommonSpirit Health. CommonSpirit’s agreements will be reinstated with no lapse in network participation.

  • CommonSpirit hospitals will rejoin the following Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) networks:
    • ParPlan
    • Blue Choice PPOSM
    • Blue PremierSM
    • Blue EssentialsSM
    • Blue Advantage HMOSM
    • Medicare Advantage PPOSM
    • Medicare Advantage HMOSM
    • Medicaid
    • MyBlue HealthSM
  • For now, the St. Joseph hospitals are out-of-network for Blue Advantage HMO members. The hospital will rejoin the Blue Advantage HMO network at a later date. These hospitals include:
    • St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan
    • Burleson St. Joseph Health Center in Caldwell
    • CHI St. Joseph Health College Station Hospital in College Station
    • Madison St. Joseph Health Center in Madisonville
    • Grimes St. Joseph Health Center in Navasota

BCBSTX advocated on behalf of their members to keep health care prices down. The agreements with CommonSpirit provide access to care and fair prices for CommonSpirit hospitals.

Back story: CommonSpirit owns 15 hospitals throughout Houston and East Texas, including the CHI St. Luke’s and CHI St. Joseph hospitals. A complete list of hospitals is below.
