Deadline For Parkview/Anthem Deal Rapidly Approaching
Monday, July 20, 2020

A timetable of less than ten days remain for one of Northeast Indiana's biggest healthcare group to make a deal with one of the U.S.’s biggest insurers.

If a deal is not met between Parkview Health and Anthem, the insurer’s customers will be considered “out of network” at Parkview facilities after 11:59 P.M. on July 28th. According to a statement on Anthem’s website, the most recent meeting between the two which happened earlier this month, ended without a deal.

One of the major sticking points has been the cost of healthcare. Anthem wants Parkview to charge its patients less as Anthem cites the price paid for hospital outpatient care in Indiana is 3.58 times what Medicare would have paid for the same services, and claims Parkview Health charged private insurance companies about four times what the federal Medicare program paid for the same care.
