What is happening between MU Health Care and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield?
MU Health Care has reached an agreement with Anthem to restore participation in their commercial network, allowing us to care for our commercially insured patients on an in-network basis. This applies to all Anthem and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans patients get through their employer or the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace.
Is MU Health Care back in network with HealthLink?
No, Anthem and MU Health Care mutually agreed not to renew their HealthLink agreement. As a result, MU Health Care is permanently out of network with HealthLink.
How does this impact Student Health Center providers?
Student Health Center providers’ in-network participation will be restored in Anthem’s commercial network.
How does this impact the University of Missouri health insurance plan?
The Anthem Student Advantage plan remains in-network with the Student Health Center until their current plan expires. The Fall 2025 student health insurance plan will be the United Health Student Plan.
When can I start receiving care at in-network rates at MU Health Care?
Effective immediately, you can receive care at in-network rates through any of MU Health Care’s providers and facilities. If you have delayed care, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. You can find the number for your provider or clinic on muhealth.org/doctors.
