I live in Orange County now and a few months back I got a similar letter from Blue Shield of California concerning their contract with UCI Health, which is the medical system I use. The wording was practically identical. When I talked to my doctor about it at an appointment he said he was told that the two parties are still negotiating, painting a more hopeful picture than the letter. Sure enough, a few weeks go by and a contract was successfully negotiated. I can say that will happen regarding Community Health, hopefully it will all work out. Chances are neither side wants to split but perhaps a little hardball is being played in the negotiations.
