Important Notice Regarding Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

August 21, 2024

The SAG-AFTRA Health Plan recently learned that Anthem Blue Cross is renegotiating its contract with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). The Health Plan, together with the other entertainment industry health plans recognize how crucial MSK’s services are to our participants and others in our community. We have clearly communicated to Anthem the importance of keeping MSK in the network.

Anthem confirmed that MSK will stay in its network until at least March 1, 2025, and they are optimistic about reaching a new agreement. If you are currently receiving care at MSK, you don’t need to take any action right now. The Health Plan is closely monitoring the situation and will keep you updated.
