Anthem Terminations
11/11/2026
Have you been affected by a termination notice issued by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield HP? We want to know!
NYSPMA is aware of the recent termination notices issued by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield HP to participating healthcare providers throughout New York State.
According to Anthem's correspondence, the terminations will become effective February 1, 2027, and affect multiple Medicaid-related networks, including:
● Medicaid Managed Care (MMC)
● Medicaid Advantage Plus (MAP)
● Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC)
● Child Health Plus
● Health and Recovery Plans (HARP)
● Dual Eligible Medicare-Medicaid plans
● Essential Plan
Anthem describes this action as a systematic network optimization effort intended to better align its provider network with the evolving financial and regulatory environment affecting Medicaid programs. NYSPMA is developing a coordinated response to Anthem's decision. Our efforts will include direct advocacy and Anthem Regulatory intervention. It's most important for us to know the breadth of the impact first. Please email any termination notices you have received to [email protected] and stay tuned to all NYSPMA social media channels and emails for updates in the near future.
