Ohio State and Anthem Contract Dispute Threatens Patient Coverage
Patients at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center may lose coverage from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield starting January 1, 2024, if a new contract isn't reached. The dispute centers on pricing, with Anthem accusing Ohio State of proposing significant price hikes, while Ohio State claims Anthem has underpaid them. Both parties are hopeful for a resolution by the deadline. Similar negotiations are occurring between Mount Carmel and Aetna, highlighting broader tensions in healthcare pricing and insurance coverage.
