While they are talking, there is NO agreement yet between Columbia-based MU Health Care and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. MU Health Care is considering the new offer from Anthem. Mid-Missouri patients impacted by the dispute are expressing their frustration on 939 the Eagle's Facebook page. Listener Judy Cain says the two sides need to come to an agreement. She says she has Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and is tired of waiting to see her specialist, because she's not paying out of pocket. Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina), who represents Moberly and Mexico in the 939 the Eagle mid-Missouri listening area, wants to see the two sides sign the contract. She says Anthem has doubled their rate increase offer and says the latest proposal includes paying doctors more. Pro Tem O'Laughlin joined “Wake Up Missouri” hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell on 939 the Eagle this morning, saying both sides have thought the other wasn't being fair and that costs are a top concern from both sides. Pro Tem O'Laughlin tells listeners that this issue needs to be resolved quickly, adding that she's cautiously optimistic MU Health Care and Anthem will reach an agreement soon:

The powerful Missouri Senate leader who represents Moberly and Mexico in the 939 the Eagle mid-Missouri listening area wants to see Columbia-based MU Health Care and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield renew their contract this week. Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) made that call in a Facebook post, saying Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield has made what seems to be a reasonable offer. She says Anthem has doubled their rate increase offer and will allow policy exceptions to remain in place. Pro Tem O'Laughlin also says Anthem's latest proposal includes paying doctors more. She is encouraging the two sides to sign the contract renewal by tomorrow (Thursday) so thousands of patients can see their doctors at MU Health. MU Health Care's 1,200 providers, 80 clinics and seven hospitals have been out of Anthem's commercial network since April 1, when the two sides failed to reach an agreement to renew the contracts. About 90,000 people are impacted. "Wake Up Missouri" hosts Dr. Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell discussed the issue in-detail this morning along with 939 the Eagle's Brian Hauswirth:

The historic deadly flooding in Texas has prompted the deployment of 52 members of Columbia-based Missouri Task Force One (MO-TF1) to the Lone Star State. The “Dallas Morning News” reports there are at least 104 confirmed deaths from the Texas flooding, and searches are continuing on this Tuesday morning. MO-TF1 is part of the Boone County Fire Protection District, and they've been deployed with a focus on water rescue operations and human remains detection (HRD) capabilities. MO-TF1 members left for Texas Monday evening, while two Incident Support team members left this morning. They'll be supporting search and rescue operations in response to the historic flooding. Mizzou atmospheric science professor Tony Lupo joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." Professor Lupo says the historic Texas flooding was caused by the remnants of a June 29th tropical storm. He also discusses the difficulty in being precise in forecasting:

There's still no agreement in place between Columbia-based MU Health Care and Anthem. A Missouri Senate committee held a hearing on the issue last week at the Statehouse in Jefferson City. MU Health Care chief executive officer Ric Ransom testifies that MU Health Care and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield have not been able to find common ground during contract negotiations. He and Anthem executives testified before the Missouri Senate Insurance and Banking Committee in Jefferson City. MU Health Care's 1,200 providers, 80 clinics and seven hospitals have been out of Anthem's commercial network since April 1, when the two sides failed to reach an agreement to renew the contracts. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn joined hosts Stephanie Bell and Jennifer Bukowsky on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri". Mr. Faughn tells listeners that both Anthem and MU Health Care need to find common ground. Faughn also discussed a possible challenge to State Sen. Curtis Trent (R-Springfield) in 2026:

We've recently had a couple of co-workers who have experienced unique concert events that we found interesting, and thought you might too! First up is Stephanie Bell from "Wake Up Missouri" on 93.9 The Eagle. She went to one night of this year's annual CMA Fest in Nashville, but she did so with SEAT-FILLER TICKETS. Then sales maven Carrie Berkbuegler got to see Kenny Chesney at the much talked about, and apparently fabulous Las Vegas Sphere. Hope you enjoy our visits! (:14) Greetings and some CMA Fest history.
