Licking Memorial Health Systems Negotiations with

Thursday,  January  1,  2026

Medical Mutual (MMO) and Licking Memorial Health Systems are in contract negotiations.
If MMO and Licking are unable to reach an agreement, this health system and its affiliated providers will be removed from MMO networks effective Jan. 1, 2026.
This includes Medical Mutual's Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO, SuperMed HMO and PPO, MedMutual Individual HMO, and Mutual Health Services networks.
Last week, Licking Memorial mailed letters to our employer groups informing them about this possible change to our networks without Medical Mutuals prior knowledge. MMO believed then, as as they do now, that they are making progress toward an agreement that will make healthcare services more affordable and predictable and we will continue to act in the best interest of our members and employer groups.

This does not effect Medical Supplements Plans.
