WellNow Urgent Care announced that they are planning on ending their business relationship with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield by the start of next year if the insurance company does not pay “fair rates.”
According to a news release sent out by WellNow, it is unsustainable for WellNow to continue doing business with Excellus due to Excellus’s failure to commit to reasonable rates.
Excellus BlueCross BlueShield says WellNow has asked for a rate increase that would far exceed local primary care provider reimbursement. Excellus says their current contract with WellNow dates back to 2016 and they are hopeful they will agree to remain in the network.
WellNow has locations in Auburn, Geneva, and Canandaigua.
