University of Missouri Health Care has been working in good faith with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem) to renew our contract and remain a participating provider in Anthem’s provider and hospital networks. We are committed to working with them to ensure our patients with Anthem coverage maintain in-network access to MU Health Care’s more than 1,100 providers, 80 clinics and 7 hospitals.
If our contract expires before an agreement is reached, MU Health Care’s services, physicians, and facilities will be out of Anthem’s network, starting on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. This change would apply to Anthem or other Blue Cross Blue Shield plans that patients get through their employer, in addition to Medicare Advantage, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace and HealthLink plans. This change will not impact Mizzou Pharmacy retail services or patients with Healthy Blue Medicaid and University of Missouri Student Advantage plans.
A network change could impact your ability to continue receiving convenient, local care from the MU Health Care providers you trust. To find out if you receive health insurance under Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, check the insurance provider’s name on your health insurance card, review your employee benefits or ask your employer’s human resources department.
