HAZEL HAWKINS HOSPITAL REACHES NEW AGREEMENT WITH ANTHEM BLUE CROSS

HOLLISTER, CA - December 28, 2022: Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital and Anthem Blue Cross (Anthem) announced that they have reached agreement on a new contract that allows Anthem-insured patients to maintain in-network access to Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital services, facilities and providers. The new agreement takes effect on January 1, 2023.

“This is a win for our patients and community who deserve access to local high-quality care. We appreciate the understanding and support we received from our patients, physicians, and local employers,” said Mary Casillas, HHMH Interim CEO. “It is important that we continue to meet the needs of our community, and this new contract will allow us to do just that.”

The new agreement means that care from Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital and clinics are covered for Anthem members as part of their in-network benefits. Hazel Hawkins understands the importance of preventative care and encourages patients who have put off any preventative screening to make their appointments to be seen.
