The contract comes after months of negotiations regarding a reimbursement increase. The two organizations failed to reach an agreement by the initial Feb. 28 deadline, resulting in a 120-day extension period scheduled to end June 28.
“Over the next year, BCBSOK and OU Health will work to define a new, long-term contract that reflects the quality and value of OU Health as a newly integrated clinic and hospital system and its services to BCBSOK members,” the statement said.
