Anthem describes this action as a systematic network optimization effort intended to better align its provider network with the evolving financial and regulatory environment affecting Medicaid programs.

It's most important for us to know the breadth of the impact first. Please email any termination notices you have received to info@nyspma.org and stay tuned to all NYSPMA social media channels and emails for updates in the near future.
