Scripps Health and Anthem Blue Cross Reach New Multi-Year Agreement

We are pleased to share that Scripps Health and Anthem Blue Cross have reached a new multi-year agreement.

This agreement ensures that Scripps hospitals, physicians and other providers will remain in-network for Anthem members with PPO/EPO health insurance, providing continued access to the care you know and trust in the years ahead. 

We understand that this process created uncertainty and concern for many patients and families. We are deeply grateful for your patience, understanding and continued confidence in Scripps as we worked toward achieving this new agreement. We look forward to continuing to provide the compassionate, high-quality care our community deserves. 

The new agreement reflects our continued commitment to: 

• Delivering high-quality care 
• Reducing avoidable administrative burdens 
• Supporting full and timely payments 
• Improving the experience for patients and providers 

With this agreement in place, Anthem members can continue to access care at Scripps hospitals, clinics, physician offices and other care locations at in-network benefit levels, subject to the terms of your specific health plan. 

Important: This agreement does not apply to Anthem HMO members. Anthem HMO members who previously had a Scripps Clinic or Scripps Coastal Medical Center location identified on their insurance card have been reassigned by Anthem to a new medical provider. HMO members should contact Anthem directly to confirm their Scripps network access and benefits. 

At Scripps, we remain committed to providing exceptional care to our patients, families and the San Diego community. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue caring for you and your family in the years ahead.
