That is funny you should mention that. I just found out about that yesterday (that Cedars is taking Anthem Blue Cross again). That is the only good news that I have gotten lately with regard to health insurance. Cedars stopped taking Anthem for the last year or two but just started taking it again.

That is good news in terms of emergencies if I ever need to go to the hospital. It is also good for certain specialists. They have some very good orthopedic surgeons there.

But in terms of my regular doctors that I have gone to for years, such as my internist, he is not taking the Anthem EPO. He always took the Anthem PPO.

While not as ideal as having your insurance cover him, often you can negotiate insurance prices for cash pay. Unless you have a very low deductible, your out of pocket for the new year would be that anyway.
