Negotiation with Hendrick Health

Hendrick Health System in Abilene notified us that they're terminating their provider and hospital agreements Dec. 1, 2025, unless those agreements are modified. We’re working closely with Hendrick and hope to sign new contracts before that date.

Participants are our priority. We want to reach an agreement that will continue to give them access to Hendrick doctors and hospitals at fair prices.

Even if Hendrick leaves our networks, they’ll continue to have access to our network of doctors, health care professionals, hospitals and facilities. They can check for options by logging into their member account online or through the BCBSTX App. They can also call a Personal Health Guide at 1-866-355-5999, available 24/7.

Why It Matters

If we can’t reach an agreement, Hendrick doctors, hospitals and other facilities will no longer be in network for all TRS-ActiveCare plans on Dec. 1:

  • TRS-ActiveCare Primary
  • TRS-ActiveCare Primary+
  • TRS-ActiveCare HD
  • TRS-ActiveCare 2

Why Negotiate

As a customer-owned health insurance industry leader in Texas for 95 years, we advocate on your behalf for high-quality, cost-effective health care. Our goal is to protect your access to quality care at affordable rates. It's a responsibility we take seriously.  

Next Steps

If we can’t reach an agreement, or if participants want to find another in-network doctor or hospital, we’ll work with them to move their care. They can:

  • Visit Provider Finder to find an in-network doctor or hospital.
  • Log in to or sign up for their member account online or use the BCBSTX App.
  • Call a Personal Health Guide at 1-866-355-5999.

In the case of a life-threatening illness or injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency facility right away. Emergency services for commercial networks are covered at the in-network benefit level.
