We feel it is important to update you on the steps we have taken to date to align on the terms and rates for a new contract as we also work to protect your access to high quality, compassionate care.

While we have tried to remain hopeful, we are disappointed with the terms and rates Anthem has offered to us to date. Our disappointment is only deepened by these statistics:
