Anthem Blue Cross claimed that Dignity Health “has become one of the more expensive health systems in California.”
“Anthem’s intent is to reach agreement on reasonable contractual language and reimbursement rates that will help protect affordability for consumers,” Anthem said in a statement. “We cannot, and will not, agree to excessive rate increases that will make care at Dignity even less affordable for those we serve.”
Anthem contended that Dignity’s rate is nearly 30% more expensive than other health systems in the state.
“If we were to give in to Dignity’s demands for excessive rate increases, it would result in higher out-of-pocket and premium costs for our members, it said. That’s something we just can’t do.”
