Payor Negotiations

The TidalHealth Payor Negotiations page explains how TidalHealth works with insurance companies to establish contracts and coverage agreements. It provides insight into the negotiation process, how network participation affects patient access to in-network benefits, and where patients can find updates on insurance discussions.

Our Commitment

At TidalHealth, our mission has always been to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable care for the communities we serve across Delmarva.

To continue doing that, we must ensure fair partnerships with the insurance companies (called payors) that reimburse us for the care we provide.

Rising healthcare costs — from salaries to supplies — have outpaced reimbursement rates for many hospitals and physician services. When payors do not align with fair, market-based rates, it limits our ability to invest in programs, recruit skilled clinicians, and sustain essential services that our patients depend on.

Our ongoing payor discussions are about one thing: protecting your access to exceptional care, close to home.  

 

Stay informed

Negotiations between health systems and insurance companies are a normal part of healthcare — and we’re committed to keeping you informed every step of the way.
