Earlier this week, we announced the successful completion of a new contract with Anthem Maine. We know that there was uncertainty as the termination deadline loomed and this was unsettling. On behalf of all of us at Covenant Health, and especially on behalf of our 225 providers affiliated with St. Mary’s Health System and St. Joseph Healthcare, we say thank you. We are grateful for your patience and for the trust you’ve shown in us.
Over the past months, many of you have reached out to tell us how much you value the care you’ve received at St. Mary’s and at St. Joe’s. You’ve told us that you count on the relationships you’ve formed with your providers because of the exceptional care you’ve received.
We’ve heard you. The new agreement means that St. Mary’s Health System and St. Joseph Healthcare and all of the 225 affiliated providers will remain in the Anthem network through 2025. What this means for you is that you can continue to seek care from the providers you know and trust. Please take a moment and visit anthem.com to review your member benefits and verify and confirm your choice of providers. Or, you can contact Anthem customer service via the phone number on the back of your insurance card to verify and confirm the accuracy of your provider selection.
As we move ahead, we look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your families in your health and wellness journey. We offer our heartfelt thanks for your support, and pledge to continue to provide you with an exceptional patient experience each and every time.
We will keep you informed throughout the process. We are committed to providing you with timely and accurate information on this situation. Updates can be found by visiting our websites:
