Contracts with insurance companies like Anthem ensure that UCSF Health receives fair payment for the services we provide to patients with Anthem insurance. Anthem is using its strength and size to demand unfair terms for our services, even as it consistently raises the cost of premiums for its members and reports record profits for shareholders. As one of the region’s most vital health care resources, UCSF Health needs a fair agreement with Anthem to maintain the standard of care that our patients rely on for their health. The exclusive mission of UCSF Health is to serve the health of Californians, and we continue to make investments in our facilities, our physicians and our staff to expand vital clinical services, improve patient access, and make care more convenient for our community.
