Summary
PacificSource has secured continued in-network agreements with St. Charles Health System and Salem Health Hospitals & Clinics for Commercial and Medicare plans in 2026 (and 2027 for St. Charles Commercial). No coverage or provider access changes for Commercial and Medicare members—billing teams should take no action as claims processing workflow remains unchanged. Note: Medicaid coverage with Salem Health is still under negotiation.
Action Required
No action required. This is a contractual confirmation that St. Charles and Salem Health remain in-network for Commercial and Medicare plans in 2026. Billing teams should verify network status in their billing system reflects in-network designation for these providers starting January 1, 2026. Monitor for any separate Medicaid agreement announcement regarding Salem Health, as that negotiation is ongoing.
