#BCBSMA said it will map all merged market PPO and EPO groups to the closest corresponding HMO Blue New England plan. Groups 10+ needing #PPO plans will either have to use #LevelFunded plans or a #PEO. Everyone else? No options. #Massachusetts
BCBS Massachusetts to drop small group, individual PPO plans
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts will discontinue all PPO and EPO plans in the merged market (the combined individual and small group markets in Massachusetts) after 2026

@repandyvargas.bsky.social Is there anyway the state can require our insurance companies to cover GLP-1s? Hate that a life-changing drug costs $300/month while the president of BCBSMA makes nearly $7M in annual compensation.

UMass and BCBSMA better figure this shit out real fast because my only other insurance option through work already doesn't operate in Worcester and we can't have to go into Boston for healthcare
Dear Patient, Our records indicate that vou are enrolled in a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA commercial health plan and have received care from a UMass Memorial Health provider or hosoital. includina UMass Memorial Medical Center, UMass Memorial Health - Harrington, UMass Memorial Health - Health Alliance-Clinton Hospital, UMass Memorial Health - Marlborough Hospital, or UMass Memorial Health - Community Healthlink, in the past. We want to make you aware that UMass Memorial's agreement with BCBSMA that covers these hospitals ends on December 31, 2025 We continue to negotiate in good faith toward a new agreement with BCBSMA. However, in the event that an agreement is not reached prior to the December 31, 2025 termination date, you may be responsible for greater cost sharing under your benefit plan, or your benefits may be limited. Patients who are enrolled in a BCBSMA plan through the Massachusetts Health Connector have the option to change their insurance coverage during the upcoming Health Connector Open Enrollment Period, November 1, 2025-January 23, 2026, which would allow patients to keep their UMass Memorial physicians.

I don’t “rest easy”, but I think that if BCBSMA is the administrator, they will continue to cover them. The largest private employer in MA (MGB) self insures with their own plan which also covers Medicaid beneficiaries.

OPINION: There has long been a chasm between government reimbursement for health care and its actual costs, and that gap has long been filled by commercial insurers like BCBSMA, writes its CEO, Sarah Iselin.

My friend’s husband is suffering from rapidly progressing ALS. Blue Cross Blue Shield refuses to cover a wheelchair for him. It’s absolutely enraging.
Please share her post, even though it’s on X.

They deserve shaming!!!
