Valley Health, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield announce settlement agreement
Valley Health and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield announced a resolution to a lawsuit filed by Valley Health in October 2022 regarding payments for healthcare claims submitted to Anthem by Valley Health.
Over the last several months, Valley Health and Anthem have worked in good faith to come to an equitable resolution.
“We were pleased to be able to reach an agreement with Anthem without continuing this dispute in the courts,” said Mark Nantz, Valley Health President, and Chief Executive Officer. “We hope our dialogue moving forward will be productive so that we can continue to serve Anthem beneficiaries into the future. The resolution of this dispute enables Valley Health to drop the lawsuit and to formally enter into negotiations to extend our current contract with Anthem.”
“We’re glad we could bring this matter to resolution. We can now focus our attention on continuing the long partnership we have had with Valley Health, ensuring access to care as we work to improve the lives of the people and communities we serve here in Virginia,” said Kurt C. Small, President of Anthem Blue Cross, and Blue Shield East Region.
