Expanded large group portfolio offers more choices
Anthem is pleased to tell you that some exciting new health plans for businesses with 51 or more employees are headed your way. These new plans give your clients and their employees even more choice and flexibility. Plans go into effect on January 1, 2011.
What's new
Pick-a-Plan; Pick-a-Network - An innovative way to offer HMO coverage to your clients
Anthem's HMO portfolio* can be matched up with your choice of either the
- Traditional HMO provider network
- High-performance Select HMO network or
- New Select Plus HMO network
The Select Plus HMO network offers access to more providers than the Select HMO network at a lower cost than the traditional HMO.
A choice of three HMO networks enables employers to offer their employees the same wide-ranging benefits but with different levels of cost savings. Employers can stay with their favorite Anthem HMO plan while moving to another HMO network. With Pick-a-Plan; Pick-a-Network it's that easy.
