If you are in Maine and make use of Northern Light Health providers, you may have recently received an email advising Anthem may be dropping them as an in-network provider over failed contract negotiations.

Before you panic and start calling people as the email suggests, I recommend you get both sides of the story (I certainly have my own opinions at this point, but I'll leave that to your own critical thinking).

Here is the link for "More Information" provided in the Northern Light Health email:

Here is a link to Anthem's Equivalent information page about the same contract negotiations:
