We have been in discussions for several months with Mercy to keep them in-network for your clients’ healthcare plans. However, Mercy has notified Anthem that its hospitals and physicians will leave our care provider networks on December 31, 2024. If we are unable to reach an agreement by January 1, 2025, Mercy will leave the network.
If they leave, your clients’ employees may pay more for care received from Mercy doctors and facilities.
We will be sending a letter to your clients’ employees on October 11, 2024, explaining this change and how it will impact their care and costs. Their plan may allow them to stay with a Mercy doctor or facility for a limited time if they’re receiving certain types of care. Their plan documents include more information about continuity of care.
Anthem wants to keep Mercy in our networks, and we remain committed to reaching a new agreement. We will continue to negotiate in good faith on behalf of our members and employers.
