Perhaps, but not very likely.
TVH can't stop accepting UHC and Florida Blue, they'd have no patients left.
UHC and Florida Blue could drop TVH from their panel of providers, but the optics of dropping 50,000 covered lives in a small geographic area wouldn't look good, and probably garner the attention of our politicians and regulatory authorities.
Hopefully the dozens of lawyers involved won't get into a "p!$$!ng" contest at the expense of Villager's health care.
Besides, it's not yet clear that TVH owes FB anything and $25M is chump change to Blue Cross
