“We recognize this has been a difficult time for families navigating out-of-network coverage options. As with previous contract discussions, Phoenix Children’s has been working diligently on behalf of our patients to ensure agreements with insurance providers serve the needs of our growing community, and we had to get it right,” said Robert L. Meyer, Phoenix Children’s President and CEO. “Families have trusted us for more than 40 years to provide the highest quality pediatric care when and where they need us most. This new contract upholds that commitment.”

The agreement ensures our shared Blue Cross Blue Shield members and Phoenix Children’s patients have access to world-class pediatric healthcare services at in-network benefit levels, including inpatient, outpatient, trauma, surgical, emergency, urgent and primary care at its two hospital campuses and more than 50 locations throughout Arizona.
