The contract impasse between Northeast Georgia Health System and BlueCross BlueShield of Georgia is over. In a nearly last-minute announcement, the two organizations said they have reached a new, multiyear agreement that will allow BlueCross patients to continue to receive in-network access to the health system’s offices and employed physicians. The two parties have been negotiating since January to secure a new agreement that covers services provided at NGHS facilities and by doctors in Northeast Georgia Physicians Group and The Heart Center of Northeast Georgia Medical Center.
