Blue Cross/Blue Shield Insurance Update 11/24/04

November 24, 2004

Dear Families at Pediatric Associates:  

After much deliberation and great reluctance we have decided to change the date of our termination with BC/BS to June 30, 2005.  We chose to do this to help our patients have the time to make a new insurance plan decision.  If BC/BS fails to negotiate a fair reimbursement, this termination will be permanent. 

We are reevaluating our business plan in order to continue to offer all of our quality services including our in-house lab.

A letter/e-mail will be sent to you when our plan is in place.

Pediatric Associates of Austin appreciates ALL of your support and effort in securing quality pediatric care in our community.
