In response to the recent news that PersonalCare will end its current contract with Christie Clinic, PersonalCare has provided the following statement to University faculty and staff:
"Beginning with our founding more than twenty years ago, PersonalCare and Christie Clinic have a history of working together to serve the health care needs of Illinois residents and the Champaign community. Since our current contract with Christie Clinic dates back to 2003, PersonalCare started conversations with Christie Clinic earlier this year to update the terms and account for our additional membership associated with the State of Illinois Open Access Plan (OAP). Although our agreement is scheduled to terminate on January 1, 2012, it is PersonalCare's strong desire to continue our long-standing partnership with Christie Clinic and that Christie Clinic remain an in-network provider for years to come. We pledge to continue negotiations in this effort."
