Pampa Regional Contract Negotiations Continue

Oct. 14, 2026

Applies to All Groups, Individual & Family Markets and Medicare Markets*

We’re negotiating new contracts with Pampa Regional Medical Center in Pampa. We’re working with them to try to reach an agreement. If we don’t, the hospital will no longer be in these networks as of Nov. 1, 2026:  

  • ParPlan 
  • Blue Choice PPOSM
  • Blue EssentialsSM
  • Blue Advantage HMOSM
  • Blue Cross Medicare Advantage (PPO)SM  
  • Blue Cross Medicare Advantage (HMO)SM 

Pampa Regional Medical Center provides inpatient and outpatient services to residents of Pampa and surrounding communities in the Texas Panhandle. 

Member notices: Member notices will be mailed to impacted members before the term date.       

Why negotiate: As a customer-owned health insurance industry leader in Texas for more than 95 years, we advocate on our members’ behalf for high-quality, cost-effective health care. It is a responsibility we take seriously.   

Finding in-network care: If we don’t reach an agreement, members will still have access to other in-network providers. We’re here to help. Members can start the process by: 

Care for ongoing conditions: Members who are pregnant or are being treated for a disability, acute condition or life-threatening illness may qualify as a continuity-of-care patient. This means they may still be able to receive care at in-network rates for a period of time at Pampa Regional Medical Center, even if they leave our networks. To find out if they are eligible, members can call the number on their member ID card for more information. 

More information: We will notify our members prior to the potential term date. Please contact your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas representative with any questions or concerns.
