Anthem-Sentara contract talks stall as both sides dispute proposed rate increases
Negotiations have stalled between Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and Sentara Health, with their current contract set to expire on Dec. 31. Monica Schmude, the Virginia plan president for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, says the health insurance company wants Sentara to remain in its network, despite Sentara issuing a termination notice to Anthem in July. According to Schmude, Sentara is requesting a 10% increase each year for the next three years for employer-sponsored coverage.
