As of mid-April, around 5,600 kids in central and southeast Ohio were insured by Anthem's Medicaid plan, a Nationwide Children's spokesperson told The Dispatch via email.

Anthem pushed back on that narrative at the time, pointing to its network of more than 800 pediatricians and 240 behavioral health providers in the greater Columbus area.
