51+: Anthem's New ACO Flex Plans Now Available

Nov 29, 2011

Anthem Blue Cross is introducing four new ACO Flex plans. The new ACO (Accountable Care Organization) product, ACO Flex, delivers more savings, more flexibility and better-coordinated care. These new plans are for fully insured businesses with 51 or more employees, and are effective January 1, 2012, and after.

ACO Flex Plans:

Ultimate flexibility: Three times the choice
ACO Flex is a plan that gives members three layers of coverage with the freedom of choosing the tier that best fits their needs:

Tier 1– ACO network of doctors, specialists and hospitals. This layer gives the lowest overall costs by providing access to a more specialized network of providers who work closely to coordinate care. This option is great for clients who want to get the most benefits for their dollars.

Tier 2– Members have access to the broader Anthem PPO network doctors and hospitals, but still save money by staying inside the network.

Tier 3– This option gives members access to any non-network doctor and hospital, but with the highest out-of-pocket costs.
