Effective January 1, 2026, Mount Sinai Physicians, Hospitals, and Facilities Will No Longer Be In-Network for Independence Administrators/Anthem

January 5, 2026

The New York City District Council of Carpenters Benefit Funds (“NYCDCCBF”) has recently been notified that as of January 1, 2026, Mount Sinai physicians, hospitals, and facilities will no longer be considered “in-network” for the Welfare Fund’s coverage through Independence Administrators (“IA”)/Anthem. For those of our participants who are impacted by this change, you should note that, per New York law, you can continue to receive “in-network” coverage from Mount Sinai until March 1, 2026. However, after this date, you will need to switch to an “in-network” provider or be charged by Mount Sinai at the “out-of-network” rate.

If you are a current Mount Sinai patient and need assistance seeking a new “in-network” physician, hospital, or facility, please contact IA/Anthem directly at (833) 242-3330 or visit IA’s website at www.myIBXTPAbenefits.com.
