Dignity Health Update
Attention Relief PPO Medical Plan Members
Dignity Health has ended its contract with Anthem Blue Cross effective July 15 at 5 PM PST and is therefore, no longer considered an in-network provider. We encourage you to use in-network providers whenever possible to receive the highest level of benefit at the lowest possible cost. If you use non-PPO providers, you will generally pay more for services. Here is a list of alternative network facilities and some FAQs regarding Dignity Health’s termination.
