Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Nevada announced today that Anthem’s 100,000 members in northern Nevada and surrounding areas now have access to in-network care at Saint Mary’s, the result of a recently signed contract between Anthem and the medical center.

“Saint Mary’s has not been part of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s network. We are very pleased that effective April 1, 2009, Anthem members will be able to come to Saint Mary’s for all of their health care needs – on an in-network basis,” said Mike Uboldi, president and CEO of Saint Mary’s. “Saint Mary’s is our region’s number one ranked hospital in quality patient care by the federal government’s quality measures. Customers want choice when it comes to their health care options and with this new contract, Anthem members in northern Nevada now can choose Saint Mary’s.”

This is the fourth non-exclusive contract that Saint Mary's has signed with a major insurance carrier over the past two years. The Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield contract follows a similar arrangement signed with other major insurers in the last two years. Saint Mary’s is now contracted with more insurance companies than any other hospital in northern Nevada.

If you're an Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield member, you can call 877-833-5742 for additional information about the addition of Saint Mary's to your health insurance plan.
