Important Notice Regarding Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Hospital for Special Surgery

The DGA–Producer Health Plan was recently informed that Anthem Blue Cross (Anthem), the Health Plan’s Network benefit provider, is currently renegotiating its contract with the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). The DGA-Producer Health Plan, as well as the other entertainment industry health plans, recognize the importance of MSK remaining in the Anthem network and have communicated this to Anthem.

Anthem has confirmed that MSK remains part of the Anthem Blue Cross provider network through at least March 1, 2025 and is optimistic the contract will be successfully negotiated. If you are currently a patient of MSK, no immediate action is necessary at this time. The Health Plan is continuing to monitor the situation.

The network status of Hospital for Special Surgery, which has a separate contract with Anthem, is not impacted by Anthem’s negotiations with MSK. Anthem recently closed a 5-year deal with Hospital for Specialty Surgery.
