We understand many of you are frustrated and concerned about the recent decision by Scripps Health to leave Anthem Blue Cross’s care provider network as of January 1, 2025. This change has placed you in a difficult position, and we want to be clear: this situation is not the fault of your union. Unfortunately, our members are caught in the middle of a dispute between two massive corporations—Scripps Health and Anthem Blue Cross—over contract negotiations.
While Scripps and Anthem work toward a resolution, our priority is to ensure you have the information and resources needed to navigate this change. In the link below, you will find a detailed update provided by Anthem Blue Cross, including guidance on how to access in-network care, options for those receiving ongoing treatment, and the steps being taken to reach an agreement with Scripps.
We know how disruptive this situation is for you and your families, and we will continue to advocate for transparency and fairness in healthcare access. Please take a moment to review the information provided by Anthem to better understand your options. If you have additional questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out directly to Anthem or contact our union for support.
Your union stands with you as we work through these challenges together.
