Maine provider, Anthem agree to new contract

A month after announcing plans to drop Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Scarborough, Maine-based Coastal Women's Healthcare and the payer said they've reached an agreement on a new contract, Maine Public Radio reported June 22. 

Coastal Women's Healthcare said in May Anthem would be out of network beginning Aug. 23. The sides clashed over reimbursement rates.
