Singleton Associates and BCBSTX Enter Multi-Year Agreement for Radiology Services

Singleton Associates, P.A., a practice affiliated with Radiology Partners, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) have formalized a multi-year agreement, effective November 1, 2026.

This agreement is designed to foster network stability and continuity of care, ensuring that patients across Texas have uninterrupted access to high-quality, in-network diagnostic and interventional radiology services.

Singleton Associates and BCBSTX have collaborated closely to achieve this agreement, focusing on fair reimbursement and the establishment of strong network relationships that benefit patients, providers, health plans, and the overall healthcare system.

Dr. Byron Christie from Singleton Associates expressed appreciation for BCBSTX’s acknowledgment of the nationwide radiologist shortage and the imperative of partnering to sustain reimbursement rates. He emphasized that the agreement aims to maintain access to critical emerging technologies, reduce overall system costs, and enhance the detection of life-threatening diseases. "We are pleased to continue our partnership with BCBSTX and believe this agreement demonstrates what is possible when health plans and providers work together to solve complex healthcare challenges," he stated.

Singleton Associates offers a comprehensive range of hospital-based and outpatient imaging services in Texas, including 24/7 emergency radiology coverage, as well as specialized diagnostic and interventional services. As a Radiology Partners-affiliated practice, the radiologists at Singleton Associates utilize advanced technology and artificial intelligence tools, along with quality programs and clinical support resources, to deliver timely and high-quality care to patients.

This agreement lays the groundwork for ongoing collaboration between Singleton Associates and BCBSTX, positioning both organizations for future advancements in high-quality healthcare delivery throughout Texas.
