We make this Application available for the purpose of providing information to consumers about our products and services, providing access to health-related resources, and providing our members access to their health plan information. Nothing on this Application is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice or for the care that patients receive from their physicians. Nothing in this Application is intended to be used for medical diagnosis or treatment. You should not disregard medical advice, or delay seeking medical advice, because of something you read on this Application.

We are not responsible for information provided by health information content providers, third party sites linked to or framed by the Application, and we do not make any representations regarding the content, accuracy, or timeliness of any of such information.

While we make efforts to ensure that our lists of doctors and hospitals (i.e. providers) are up-to-date and accurate, it is important to understand that sometimes healthcare providers leave our networks without letting us know, or they switch networks, or they change employment with provider groups and hospitals. Depending on your plan, these changes may impact how much you pay out of your own pocket for services.

Not all providers are included in every plan’s network of doctors and hospitals. In order to avoid higher costs, it is important to understand whether your provider participates in your plan’s network and if your plan’s network includes Tiered providers. If you visit a provider who is not in your plan’s network or who is a Tier 2 provider for applicable Tiered plans, you may be required to pay a greater percentage of the deductible and/or co-insurance, which is your percentage of the cost. Tiered benefit plans enable you to pay lower cost share amounts by using providers in a plan network who are assigned to benefit Tier 1 or Tier 2. Although both Tiers represent in-network providers, you will generally be responsible for lower copayments, deductibles and coinsurance. Therefore, you pay less if you use a Tier 1 provider.

If you are a member, logging in is the most accurate way to search for providers in your plan network. You may also enter the first three letters of your member ID number, found on your ID card, to search for in-network healthcare providers based on your plan prefix.

Your doctor may refer you to another provider or facility for treatment. In-network providers are required to make best efforts to refer you to other in-network providers when possible. However, it is important to remind your doctor to refer you to in-network providers in order to avoid out-of-network costs and additional charges from the doctor by non-participating providers, also known as balance billing.

If you receive services from an in-network hospital, the hospital may have arrangements with emergency room physicians, anesthesiologists, radiologists, and/or other providers to assist in your care. These providers may not participate in your plan’s network. To avoid out-of-network costs and balance billing by non-participating providers, when you choose a hospital in your network be sure to look for messages within the hospital’s displayed information in the search results that identifies hospital-based providers not in your plan’s network.

If your health plan has out-of-network benefits, we may reimburse you up to the maximum allowed amount for covered services if you see a non-participating provider. The process and method used by us to determine reimbursement for non-participating providers depends on your health plan. However, because we do not have a contract with non-participating providers, they can bill you for services up to their full billed charges regardless of your insurance coverage of benefits, unless prohibited from doing so by your state.

Health plans vary. We recommend that you consult your benefit plan document and/or contact the member services number listed on the back of your ID card to confirm in advance that the desired service is covered. Keep in mind that most HMO plans do not have out-of-network benefits and therefore may not reimburse for any out-of-network services except in limited circumstances.

The Symptom Checker covers most primary care conditions.  It doesn't cover orthopedics, pregnancy, or trauma such as cuts, burns or other injuries.  You shouldn't use the symptom checker if you're pregnant or under the age of 18. Keep in mind that the symptom checker doesn't provide a medical diagnosis.  It shows you how people with similar characteristics like age, gender, and health conditions, were diagnosed and treated, and can connect you with a licensed doctor. The Symptom Checker and Virtual Care video visit by text are provided by K Health.  The virtual care video consultation service is provided by LiveHealth Online.  Each service has its own Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. In agreeing to the Terms of this Agreement you are also accepting the Terms of Use and Privacy Policies for K Health and LiveHealth Online.

We have arranged with various third-party vendors to make product and service discounts and/or coupons available to our members. Access to these discounts and coupons is not part of your health plan, and the products, services and coupons offered by these discount vendors are not covered by your health plan. We are not responsible for the products, services, coupons or information provided by any discount vendor. Discount offers, coupons and vendors are subject to change without notice.

The Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D plans are health plans with a Medicare contract or a standalone prescription drug plan with a Medicare contract. The Medicare Contract is renewed annually, and the availability of coverage beyond the end of the current year is not guaranteed.

Important Information For Members With Medicare Part D Coverage

Your Evidence of Coverage shows what is covered and what you pay for your Part D prescription drugs. 

The coverage gap begins after you and your Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan together have spent a certain amount for covered prescription drugs. You can check the Evidence of Coverage to find out the amount you pay to reach the Part D coverage gap phase. The cost share for the Part D coverage gap phase will continue as shown in your Evidence of Coverage until you and the Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program together have spent the amount for covered Part D prescription drugs which reaches the threshold.

Important Information For Members With Medicare Part D Coverage Who Also Qualify For “Extra Help”

"Extra Help" is a Medicare program that works with a Medicare Part D plan or Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan to help people with limited income and resources pay Part D prescription drug costs.

If you qualify for the Medicare “Extra Help” Program and get covered drugs at network pharmacies in our plan, then you will pay either your subsidized low income copayment or your drug plan copayment (whichever is the lower amount).

If you qualify for “Extra Help,” you do not qualify for the Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program.

If you have questions about your prescription drug costs, please review the Evidence of Coverage and contact Member Services.

We process some claims with the assistance of our affiliate Carelon Global Solutions, a licensed third-party administrator. Members can submit claims online by logging in to their account.

We may provide email and fax links to further facilitate communication for our members and their designees and caregivers. Information collected through email may be shared with our member services department, other associates, or third parties that perform services on our behalf. Unless otherwise noted, email through our website is not a completely secure and confidential means of communication. Non-encrypted email may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users without your knowledge and permission while in transit to us.

Also, if you request that we email or fax information about you to someone using the email and fax capabilities in this Application, that email or fax may not be completely secure. Please verify email addresses and fax numbers carefully before submitting such a request. If you request that we send a dependent’s card you are indicating to us you have the authority to do so.

These Texting Terms and Conditions apply when you provide prior express consent to receive text messages from Anthem or their affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, contractors, or vendors ("us" or "we" or "our'). Text messaging from us may include one-time or recurring texts related to your benefits, programs, products, services, and tools, and/or general health information. At enrollment for recurring texting programs, we specify the frequency of texts and information on how to unsubscribe and seek assistance. In all programs, you may text “STOP” to stop messaging for that program and "HELP" for help. Text messages will be sent to your mobile number using an automatic dialing system. Message and Data rates may apply.

Participation is optional. You are electing to receive PHI via text which makes the data transmitted available to your phone carrier and potentially others. Anthem provides alternative means for communicating including phone. You understand you have these choices and have elected to opt-in for texting. Anthem does not require that you agree to receive texts for this purpose to receive treatment, payment, or for benefits enrollment and eligibility.

If you no longer want to receive text messages from us, the sole and exclusive remedy is to end enrollment in the specific texting program.

Under no circumstances will we be liable for any direct or indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with use of text messaging whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

We do not guarantee the successful delivery of text messages by your wireless provider. Messages sent by text may not be delivered if the mobile device is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time. Even within a coverage area, factors beyond the control of wireless carriers may interfere with message delivery, including the terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, weather, and the recipient's equipment. We will not be liable for losses or damages arising from (a) non-delivery, delayed delivery, or misdirected delivery of a text message; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in a text message; or (c) use or reliance on the content of any text message for any purpose.

Please notify us immediately if your mobile number changes. We are not liable for any communication or transmission of information by text which happens because you did not report that your mobile number changed. Password-protecting mobile device(s) and enabling encryption, if available, is recommended.

Text messages may include protected health information (PHI). Since text messaging is unencrypted, there is a risk that this PHI could be intercepted or viewed by third parties, including others who access your device. When you choose to receive text messages from us, you do so at your own risk. Once texted, your information may no longer be regulated under HIPAA’s Privacy Rule.
