Anthem Blue Cross has terminated their contract with Scripps Health in San Diego, creating significant disruptions for many of our members who rely on Scripps for medical care.
This situation is deeply frustrating, as it is the result of two giant corporations—Anthem and Scripps—fighting over profits while the real harm falls on hardworking union members and their families.
We want to be clear: this is completely outside the union’s control. Despite our efforts to demand transparency and communication from Anthem, they failed to provide the necessary updates or notice to the union.
We understand the stress this is causing, and we will continue to advocate for our members. If you have been affected, please reach out to our Insurance Department for assistance in navigating your healthcare options: 619.298.7772 extension 8.
If upset with Anthem over their termination, please contact their customer service representatives at 1.800.627.5342.
Our union stands with you during this unfortunate transition. Sadly, corporations continue to place profits over people. Even in the healthcare industry.
