We are pleased to announce that Des Peres Hospital has reached a new four-year agreement with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Missouri that is effective through February 2016.  We have also reached agreement with HealthLink that reinstates our in-network status from January 1, 2012 for a period that also extends through February 2016. 

These new agreements mean our patients with Blue Cross Shield of Missouri and HealthLink insurance will have uninterrupted in-network access to care at Des Peres Hospital and they can continue to receive care at our hospital the same way they always have.

Though these negotiations were difficult, and our focus throughout remained on our patients.  We know our patients rely on us for care, and ensuring their continued access to the hospital and doctors they know and trust remained our top priority.  This focus is what fueled us to work so diligently to reach a new agreement, despite the challenges we encountered along the way.

Thank you for your patience and support during this process.
