St. Joseph Hospital and Anthem in dispute; 8,000 to 10,000 patients at risk of higher costs.

St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield are in a contract dispute, potentially affecting about 8,000 to 10,000 patients. The hospital claims Anthem denies covered claims and offers insufficient reimbursement rates. Anthem denies these claims and negotiations are ongoing, with a facilitated discussion planned for next week. Until March 1, Anthem must pay in-network rates. If no agreement is reached, patients may face higher out-of-network costs or need to change providers.
