Anthem Medicare & Medicaid Patients in Ohio
Anthem Medicare Patients in Kentucky

Mercy Health becomes in-network again for Anthem Medicaid patients in Ohio and will remain in-network for Anthem Medicare patients in Kentucky and Ohio.

We are pleased to report we have reached a new agreement with Anthem (Elevance Health) that helps to ensure our patients have access to high-quality, compassionate care for years to come.

Mercy Health physician practices and hospitals are considered in-network for Anthem patients across the ministry, including those enrolled in:

  • Anthem Managed Medicaid plans in Ohio and
  • Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Advantage plans in Kentucky and Ohio

Anthem has agreed to cover any claims that Managed Medicaid patients in Ohio may have incurred during the period of time that Mercy Health was out of network with Anthem (since July 1).

We understand how difficult this negotiation process has been for our patients. No patient wants to have limited access to the physicians and hospitals they know and trust for an indefinite period of time. We extend our thanks for your patience through the uncertain negotiation process and especially for your continued trust in us.

One ministry goal is to establish long-term agreements with all major payers, including Anthem, so we can deliver high-quality health care to patients in communities we serve. This new agreement helps us continue to do so.

If you have any questions about your Anthem benefits and coverage, we recommend contacting Anthem at the phone number on your insurance card.

If you have questions about what this contract resolution means for your ongoing care, call 888-354-0205 for more information.

Again, thank you! We plan to continue delivering high-quality health care in our communities for a long time.
