Listen "(LISTEN): "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn discusses Anthem issue on "Wake Up Missouri""
Episode Synopsis
There's still no agreement in place between Columbia-based MU Health Care and Anthem. A Missouri Senate committee held a hearing on the issue last week at the Statehouse in Jefferson City. MU Health Care chief executive officer Ric Ransom testifies that MU Health Care and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield have not been able to find common ground during contract negotiations. He and Anthem executives testified before the Missouri Senate Insurance and Banking Committee in Jefferson City. MU Health Care’s 1,200 providers, 80 clinics and seven hospitals have been out of Anthem’s commercial network since April 1, when the two sides failed to reach an agreement to renew the contracts. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn joined hosts Stephanie Bell and Jennifer Bukowsky on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri". Mr. Faughn tells listeners that both Anthem and MU Health Care need to find common ground. Faughn also discussed a possible challenge to State Sen. Curtis Trent (R-Springfield) in 2026:
