Under the contracts, the 20 clinics will continue their efforts toward quality improvement and community-orientated initiatives.

“Our clinics are pleased to reach an agreement so that Blue Cross patients can continue to see our providers at the in-network benefit levels of their plan without any changes,” said Jeffrey Tucker, president and CEO of Integrity Health Network. “Integrity Health looks forward to working with Blue Cross on a new network-level agreement to manage costs and improve care for those patients enrolled in Minnesota Health Care Programs.”
