We have been in discussions with KPC Health Global Medical Centers (KPC) to renegotiate the terms of our contract with them. In spite of these efforts, we weren’t able to finalize a new agreement. Their contract with us ended March 16, 2026.
Beginning March 16, 2026, we will generally no longer authorize or approve scheduled or elective admissions to KPC Health Global Medical Centers for Anthem Blue Cross or Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company members. This includes:
- Anaheim Global Medical Center
- Chapman Global Medical Center
- Hemet Global Medical Center
- Menifee Valley Medical Center
- Orange County Global Medical Center
- South Coast Global Medical Center
- Victor Valley Global Medical Center
We understand that changes like this can be disruptive for members and providers. We have notified physicians who admit to KPC so they can help coordinate admission for all Anthem Blue Cross and Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company members to alternate facilities.
We’ll mail notices to members on March 20, 2026.
Members can:
- Make sure they confirm network participation with their providers before receiving care.
- Use the Find Care feature on the Sydney® Health app or anthem.com/ca to locate hospitals and facilities in their plan’s network.
For Anthem Small Group and Individual PPO members, benefits for non-emergency services at KPC may be limited on or after March 16, 2026, except for medical emergencies.
Members who are pregnant, currently undergoing a course of treatment, have a current authorization for healthcare services, or are otherwise concerned about disruption of treatment, should call 844-971-0117 or call the Member Services number on their ID cards. Both numbers are toll-free.
