Blue Shield & UC Health Contract Update
Carrier Updates
Thursday, July 17 2025
Blue Shield of California and UC Health reached a new agreement. Under the new agreement, UC Health will extend their contracts pending the completion of formal contract renewal documents and necessary Department of Managed Health Care approvals. This means our members can continue to access UC Health providers and UC Health providers will accept Blue Shield members as in-network.
With the approval of the Department of Managed Health Care, Blue Shield is in the process of reassigning HMO members back to their UC Health primary care providers, effective July 10, 2025. Those members will not need to call Blue Shield to keep their UC Health primary care providers. HMO members can change their primary care provider at any time by calling the number on the back of their insurance card. Blue Shield is dedicated to ensuring members have access to affordable care and are pleased to be able to continue our partnership with UC Health.
