Nashville, Tenn.-based Anesthesia Medical Group, which comprises about 120 physicians and 400 anesthesiologists, reached an agreement with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, AMG told Becker's Hospital Review in an Aug. 29 news release.
The new agreement ends a dispute over reimbursement rates and provides BCBSTN members in-network access to AMG's anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists at all facilities AMG serves. This includes 220-plus operating rooms at 33 facilities in Middle Tennessee, including Brentwood-based TriStar Health System hospitals, Franklin-based Williamson Medical Center and Gallatin-based Sumner Regional Medical Center.
"We have had a strong relationship with BCBSTN for 22 years, and we are pleased that we can continue that relationship for years to come," AMG said.
