Mercy Health System Ending Anthem BCBS Contracts in Missouri
Mercy Health's Transition
Mercy Health System, a prominent healthcare provider, has announced it will terminate its contracts with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) effective soon. This affects patients relying on Anthem for healthcare coverage in Missouri.
Impact on Patients
The end of these contracts means that many patients who utilize Mercy Health’s services will face challenges as they will no longer have in-network access to this major provider. This may lead to higher out-of-pocket costs and fewer choices in obtaining essential health services.
Options for Anthem BCBS Patients
- Review your current healthcare plan and alternatives.
- Contact Anthem BCBS for information on new in-network providers.
- Explore community health resources for options.
As Mercy Health departs from the Anthem network, patients must stay informed and proactive to ensure they maintain access to quality care.
