After going back and forth for some time now, St. Peter's Health and CDPHP have officially reached a contract agreement.

The deal guarantees CDPHP members will continue to have access to care at St. Peter's facilities. This comes after the companies disputed reimbursement rates.

The previous deal was set to expire Dec. 31.

The new agreement should come as a relief to CDPHP members who were at risk of potentially losing access to care at St. Peter's, and would have been forced to find either a new provider or new insurance company.
