It says affected employees will be offered open positions or they may choose to receive a severance package.

Central Maine Medical Center, Bridgton, and Rumford Hospitals are the latest to become Tier 1 providers in certain Anthem insurance plans.

MaineHealth officials say these adjustments — which don't apply to physicians or executives — are necessary to stay competitive.
