BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - The deadline for Northern Light Health and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Maine to reach a new contract agreement is now just two days away.

WABI reached out to NLH and Anthem Wednesday and both parties said there was nothing new to report.

About 30,000 people in Maine have health insurance through Anthem.
