SAN FRANCISCO (June 27, 2025) — San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu and Supervisor Matt Dorsey sent a letter to Blue Shield yesterday urging the health insurer to resolve its dispute with UC Health and to ensure Blue Shield members continue to have access to in-network health care at UC Health facilities. If Blue Shield does not reach an agreement to keep UC Health in its provider network by July 10, tens of thousands of California and Bay Area members will lose the ability to see UC Health providers at in-network rates.
