Patients with health insurance through BlueCross BlueShield Georgia hang in limbo as the insurance company and Northeast Georgia Health System head toward contract deadlines. If the two can’t come to an agreement, these patients will no longer have in-network access to Northeast Georgia Medical Center and physicians employed by NGHS. The health system has announced that the insurance company issued notification of a run-out period for its contracts. BlueCross BlueShield said there are two contracts at issue.
