Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center in Jasper continues efforts to negotiate a contract with Anthem.
While Anthem provided Memorial Hospital with a proposal as recent as Monday both sides remain far apart.
Two face-to-face meetings are scheduled over the next 10 days. Memorial Hospital officials say they are hopeful that Anthem will bring a proposal that they can respond to.
Meanwhile, Memorial Hospital has established the Memorial Health Resource Center to support patients with Anthem insurance plans.
Memorial staff will provide the free service and work one-on-one with patients to evaluate their unique health care needs and situations, payment plans, and financial assistance options
