At Florida Blue, we're committed to providing our members with access to high-quality health care that is as affordable as possible. One way we achieve this is by negotiating with administrators at hospitals and medical groups to secure fair rates for medical services. These negotiations are a regular and essential part of our business, ensuring our members receive the best possible care at a price they can afford.

We're working to create a better health care system that focuses on keeping people healthy, rather than just treating illnesses. To do this, we are investing in growing our value-based programs, where providers are paid based on patient health outcomes, rather than the number of services they deliver. This means we're rewarding doctors and hospitals for higher-quality care that helps our members have a better experience with better health outcomes.

When advocating for our members and negotiating with health care providers, we also consider other factors including labor costs and market conditions as well as other financial challenges providers face to ensure our agreements are fair and reasonable. By working together, we are able to create a network of care teams who agree to bill at our negotiated reduced rates, making high-quality care more affordable for our members.

We understand the importance of our members' relationships with their doctors, and we're committed to preserving these relationships. Our ultimate goal is to create a more sustainable health care system that works for everyone — keeping costs down and quality up.

At Florida Blue, we're driving positive change and ensuring our members have the best possible care at a price they can afford. We respect and value the doctors and nurses who provide care to our members and are committed to working with their health care administrators to achieve this goal. By focusing on care that gets results, we're helping to create a health care system that's better for everyone.
