As we previously advised you, Hackensack Meridian and Horizon were embroiled in negotiations in which you were sent emails saying that they would terminate their relationship on June 1st. Just as expected, they resolved their dispute yesterday, far in advance of the deadline.
Unfortunately, this the resolution to the dispute will cost you more money in higher hospital costs and higher Chapter 78 contributions. As you can see from the attached matrix, Hackensack Meridian is hardly underpaid for their services.
We are disheartened that both sides in this dispute attempted to use our members as pawns.
