We are very pleased to share that MU Health Care has reached an agreement in principle with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem) to renew participation in their commercial insurance network, allowing us to care for our patients with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem) commercial plans on an in-network basis.

The new agreement is retroactively effective April 1, 2025, and applies to the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial plans obtained through an employer or the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace.

Final contract documents are currently being prepared, with both organizations anticipating full ex*****on within the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, we are working closely with Anthem to ensure our patients experience a seamless return to in-network care.
