The parties had been engaged in a contract dispute, and if they had not reached an agreement by Feb. 15, Bronson could have become an out-of-network healthcare provider for BCBSM customers, according to a Battle Creek Enquirer report.
According to a news release, the new contract is for five years and includes value-based provisions “that move the focus of reimbursement away from patient volume, rewarding the hospital system for quality measures such as lower rates of hospital readmissions and more efficient care processes that result in fewer duplicative tests.” Further details about the contract were not provided.
