Anthem and Tenet Hospital Systems are involved in contract negotiations covering St. Louis University Hospital in St. Louis and Des Peres Hospital.  Employees using one of these hospitals may have received a letter from St. Louis University Hospital indicating that they will no longer be a participating provider with Anthem after December 31, 2011.  If the contract terminates January 1, 2012 Anthem members will continue to receive in-network benefit coverage for covered services at St. Louis University Hospital and Des Peres Hospital through midnight February 22, 2012.  If a City employee is admitted to one of these hospitals on or before February 22, 2012 and is still in the hospital after that date, in-network benefits will continue until discharge.   
 
In addition, the contract termination affects only the two hospitals, not SLUCare physicians.  SLUCare physicians will continue to participate in the Anthem network programs.  Employees will be notified regarding the outcome of the contract negotiations.
