Anthem & El Camino Hospital Continue Negotiations on New Agreement
El Camino Hospital, with hospital campuses in Mountain View and Los Gatos, issued a notice to terminate its Contracting Hospital Agreement with Anthem Blue Cross. Unfortunately, to date, Anthem Blue Cross and El Camino Hospital have been unable to reach an agreement, and it appears that the hospital contract with El Camino Hospital may terminate effective July 31, 2019. El Camino Hospital provides services to members in the South San Francisco Bay Area.
Anthem mailed pre-termination letters to admitting HMO medical groups and PPO physicians who maintain privileges/affiliations at El Camino Hospital. The letters inform Anthem providers about the pending termination and encourage them to seek alternate admitting privileges at another participating hospital if necessary. For your reference, below are copies of the following communications:
