Tenet Healthcare, which owns Baptist Health System, severs ties with Humana insurance
Health facilities owned by Tenet Healthcare Corp., including the six San Antonio-area hospitals in the Baptist Health System, are no longer in network with Humana health insurance plans.
Failed contract negotiations led to the split, according to a statement from Graham Reeve, president and CEO of Baptist Health System.
Effective October 1, all patients with Humana insurance, including those covered through commercial plans, Medicare Advantage, Healthcare Marketplace Exchange, Medicaid and TRICARE, no longer have in-network access to our doctors, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, urgent care centers, imaging centers, laboratories and home health centers, Baptist Health System said in the emailed statement. All six of the Baptist Health System hospitals are affected.
Tenet Healthcare is a publicly traded company that owns health-care facilities throughout the U.S. and United Kingdom.
