Maine: CoverME alerts residents to issues w/Plan Comparison Tool re. Northern Light Anthem providers

12/5/25: Update on Provider Network Information in Plan Comparison Tool

We are aware of several provider network inaccuracies in our Plan Comparison Tool. The inaccuracies are related to Anthem plans. 

The network issues related to Anthem plans are limited to Northern Light providers. We expect the Anthem network to be corrected by December 16. In the interim, consumers may use Anthem's Provider Lookup Tool (external to CoverME.gov).

Oy...December 16th? That's the day after the initial Open Enrollment Deadline passes. Sheesh.

While the Plan Comparison Tool remains helpful, the provider data on CoverME.gov is only as accurate as the information provided to us by the carriers. Updates to the Plan Comparison Tool are scheduled to create the best user experience. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, we encourage consumers, brokers, and navigators to verify provider participation and information directly with each insurance company. Links to each carrier’s provider lookup tool can be found below. 

• Anthem
• Harvard Pilgrim Health Care 
• Community Health Options 
• Mending (formerly Taro Health)

We recognize that this is a stressful time for many and apologize for the situation. We will continue monitoring the situation and implementing updates as soon as they are available.
