Utah's first insurance provider, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, and University of Utah Health are struggling to reach a contract, which could leave tens of thousands of Utahns with more limited health care options after the end of June.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's first insurance provider, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, and University of Utah Health are struggling to reach a contract, which could leave tens of thousands of Utahns with more limited health care options after the end of June.
Kathey Wilets, senior director of public relations at U. Health, said the system cares for about 70,000 to 80,000 people with Regence health insurance who are not employees of University of Utah, and another 50,000 employees of University of Utah and their families covered by Regence health insurance.
"For more than 50 years, University of Utah Health has been a trusted partner in health care for our community. We've done that by putting our patients and our employees at the forefront of all we do," Wilets said. Regence said its negotiations focus on ensuring families and businesses are financially protected and don't have significant increases in premiums, and premiums are based on what care is expected to cost.It said the two companies can't agree on an increase in what Regence pays for the care that will not lead to a significant increase in premiums.
