Gold Plans
Gold health insurance plans have higher monthly payments but an even lower deductible than Silver plans. They are best for individuals or families with regular, ongoing healthcare needs. Gold plans cover most routine healthcare costs.
Platinum Plans
Platinum-level plans require the highest monthly payments but feature the lowest deductibles (sometimes even no deductible). These plans are best for individuals and families with ongoing or specialized care needs and who want the most complete coverage.
Benefits Of Becoming An Anthem Member
Anthem designed its health plans and plan networks with different healthcare needs and budgets in mind. We offer a range of choices and make managing your benefits easier than ever. Our integrated approach can help improve your health, lower costs, and provide peace of mind.
Access To Quality Care

Pharmacy Coverage
Your Anthem health plan includes coverage for most generic and many brand-name prescription drugs. You’ll pay a certain amount for medications, depending on the coverage tier or class of drug.
$0 Preventive Care
Avoiding illness or catching problems early are key to staying healthy. Your plan covers preventive care at no cost to you when you see a doctor in your plan’s network. Preventive care includes checkups, screenings, and vaccines.
$0 Virtual Care, 24/7
Using the Sydney Health app, you can talk to a board-certified doctor from the comfort of your home or on-the-go. The doctor can give you expert medical advice, diagnose common health issues, and send prescriptions right to your pharmacy. Many plans offer virtual care visits using the Sydney Health app at no cost to you.
Difference Between On And Off Exchange Plans
With Anthem, you have access to both on-exchange and off-exchange health insurance plans that you can shop and compare directly on our site.
On-exchange
health insurance plans are also available on Covered California, sometimes referred to as the Marketplace. Financial help, or subsidies, to lower the cost of health coverage are only available when you enroll in an on-exchange health plan.
Off-exchange
health insurance plans covering the same essential health benefits as on-exchange plans are available outside of the exchange or marketplace directly through Anthem.
Our Health Plan Consultants can help you determine if you are eligible for financial help and find the best plan for your needs and budget.
How Health Insurance Covers Expenses
Health insurance can be the key to supporting your health and well-being. Once you purchase an Anthem plan, you’ll be covered for annual physicals and preventive care visits with providers in your network. Here are the basics of how your plan covers expenses and which portions of your healthcare costs you’re responsible for.
The deductible is the amount you pay each year before your plan starts to pay for covered services. This does not include costs for preventive services, which are covered regardless of the deductible when provided by a doctor in your plan's network.
Copays are fixed amounts that you pay out-of-pocket for visits to in-network healthcare providers. Amounts can vary depending on the provider (primary care or a specialist) you see or the services you receive (such as medications, labs, and diagnostic tests).
Coinsurance is the percentage you pay for covered healthcare services after you reach your deductible. For example, if the allowed amount for a service is $100 and your coinsurance is 20%, you will pay $20 for that service after your deductible is met.
This the most you will pay for covered healthcare services during the coverage year. If you reach the out-of-pocket maximum, your plan pays 100% of covered benefits.
