Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan/Blue Care Network and Michigan Medicine Network Negotiation
We are pleased to share that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) and Blue Care Network (BCN) have reached an agreement with University of Michigan Health system, also known as Michigan Medicine. As a result, Michigan Medicine providers and facilities will remain in-network for all Oakland County medical plans.
There will be no disruption to in-network access for covered services, and our employees and their covered family members may continue to receive care from Michigan Medicine as they do today.
