ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Right now, thousands of employees across Abilene are anxiously waiting on an agreement between Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and Hendrick Health System, which is now hospital in city limits. A negotiation process began after a BCBS news release was sent out, stating Hendrick would leave the network if a higher price could not be negotiated. 'There is some concern because it's health insurance, coverage, that's a big deal,' said Tommy Vaughn, Assistant Superintendent of Wylie ISD, in reference to the ongoing deliberation.
