REID RESUMES SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS BEYOND ANTHEM DEADLINE

(Richmond, IN)--Reid Health has updated information as negotiations continue with Anthem.  A deadline to reach an agreement with Anthem and prevent 44,000 area residents from going out-of-network is now less than a month away.  On Friday, Reid updated information with statistics about the financial challenges all hospitals are facing.  In 2022, more than half of all hospitals nationally operated at a financial loss and that trend continued into last year.  Reid indicated in its update that there has been an overwhelming response from the public and that they will now resume scheduling all patients with Anthem Insurance for appointments beyond the March 17 deadline.  They say they’re hopeful Anthem will continue negotiations.
