The network is part of Anthem’s agreement with Portland, Maine-based MaineHealth to offer a health plan on the state’s new online insurance exchange this fall. The bureau did not address the issue of pricing and additionally set a Sept. 9 hearing for Anthem to address moving its current customer base into the proposed narrow-network plans.
The agreement between MaineHealth and Anthem will limit access to care for tens of thousands of state residents, Maine-based Central Maine Healthcare Vice President of Public Affairs Chuck Gill said earlier this year. Mr. Gill called the arrangement a “backroom deal” that would exclude other health systems.
