Good news! Anthem Blue Cross has announced that Hospital Corporation of America’s California hospitals once again participate in Anthem BC’s’ network.
In Southern California:
- Los Robles Regional Medical Center
- West Hills Hospital
- Riverside Community Hospital
- Regional Medical Center of San Jose
- Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose
Despite the terminations announced in March, both parties continued active negotiations with the hope that the hospitals would again participate in Anthem BC’s’ network. These ongoing discussions resulted in the successful negotiation of new multi-year contracts effective April 1, 2012.
The reason an insurance company negotiates provider contracts is simple – to provide you with a broad network of providers who have agreed to accept negotiated rates — for you that means discounts — lower out-of-pocket expenses, more bang for your buck.
