What if Salina Regional goes 'out of network?' A guide to navigating health insurance In late April, Salina Regional Health announced it was taking negotiations with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas public. In the months since, negotiations have continued in a less public fashion. Each entity has created web pages dedicated to the issue, with information about the process and explanations of its own claims. Salina Regional claims Blue Cross paid comparable health systems in the state up to 50% higher than it paid them, and possibly other providers, for at least two years.
