Don’t Let Out-of-State Hospital Systems Drive Up Your Healthcare Costs!
Tell Covenant Health to STOP threatening access to care for thousands of Granite Staters!

Background:
St. Joseph Hospital, part of Covenant Health, a Massachusetts-based organization with hospitals in six states, is threatening access to care for thousands of Granite Staters. The hospital is demanding unreasonable payment increases from Anthem health insurance, which will ultimately impact consumers and employers served by Anthem through increased costs for everyday healthcare services. Covenant Health is prioritizing profits over patients by refusing to agree to a fair contract that is in line with other hospitals across the state.
What makes it worse is that Covenant is already charging New Hampshire employers and consumers 226% of Medicare prices for services provided at St. Joseph Hospital. If Anthem agrees to Covenant’s proposed rates, consumers will pay more for common services:
- $5,039 more for a hip replacement
- $3,910 more for a knee replacement
- $1,328 more to deliver and care for a baby
New Hampshire employers and consumers can’t afford these unreasonable demands. Urge leaders at Covenant to reach a reasonable agreement with Anthem that is affordable and maintains access to healthcare services at St. Joseph Hospital.
