What’s behind the potential split? Dr. Diane Heaton is an oncologist and president of the Tulsa Medical Society. She says the St. Francis system has grown over the last 20 years by purchasing smaller practices, and when a large network absorbs small providers, it charges insurance companies more for services since operating costs are higher for hospitals. “Let’s say they bought my practice, they would then change the rates to hospital rates that can be over 7,000 times more,” said Heaton.
