MU Healthcare and Anthem have not reached an agreement by the contract's expiration date. What does this mean for consumers? When a provider goes "out of network," it means they no longer have a payment agreement with your insurance company. As a result, you may face higher out-of-pocket costs if you visit a physician who is not within your network. If you are currently undergoing treatment, you might be eligible for 90 days of in-network coverage. To learn more, please visit our website: https://ow.ly/8r4A50Vspxo.
