"WellNow Urgent Care Drops Excellus Insurance After Failed Negotiations"

WellNow Urgent Care has ceased accepting Excellus BlueCross BlueShield insurance after contract negotiations failed, despite Excellus's offer of increased reimbursement rates. WellNow had previously warned about dropping Excellus due to inadequate rates. As a result, starting January 1, WellNow is considered an out-of-network provider for Excellus members, potentially leading to higher costs for those seeking care at WellNow facilities. Members are advised to check their plan coverage online or contact customer care for more information.
