Dr. Conway’s statement comes about two months after Mission Health and BCBSNC ended their monthslong contract dispute over reimbursement rates. The former CMS official joined BCBSNC Oct. 1, 2017, four days before its in-network contract with Mission Health expired.
“Our goal for Mission and health care providers generally is to have them in network so people can receive the care they need,” Dr. Conway told the Citizen Times. “I do think the agreement with Mission is stable.”
