OU employeesâ medical insurance could be affected if an agreement between OU Physicians and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma is not reached by Feb. 28.Â
The lack of consensus surrounding negotiations with BCBSOK for over a year could cause OU employees and their familyâs âin-network access to careâ by their OU physicians provider to become out-of-network âupon expiration of a 120-day transition period,â according to a press release from the OU Physicians executive office.Â
OU employees will be able to âcomplete careâ with their OU Physicians providers âwhile receiving in-network benefits during a 120-day transition period if both parties fail to negotiate. The transition would begin March 1 and would expire Jun. 28. Â
