Over the past year, numerous insurers have left the federal health insurance exchange, which has left many Georgians with few options for health insurance and made their preferred providers and hospitals out of network. For some patients, they would see the impact on January 1, 2017. WellStar Health System has reached an agreement with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia to participate in a federal insurance exchange product that will provide access to care for our patients.
Effective January 1, 2017, all 11 WellStar hospitals and employed providers of WellStar Medical Group will be participating in all Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia federal health insurance exchange products, including all Bronze, Silver and Gold “Pathways X” and “Multi-State Direct Access” products.
