INDIANAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana (Anthem) is committed to
increasing consumer access to high-quality, affordable healthcare. As
part of this commitment, Anthem announced today that it added Indiana
University Health (IU Health) to its preferred list of care providers
for its Medicare Advantage HMO and DSNP plans. Effective June 1, 2019,
IU Health’s care providers are considered in-network for these health
plans, resulting in lower out-of-pocket costs for consumers compared to
seeing a care provider outside of Anthem’s network. IU Health is already
in-network for Anthem’s Medicare Advantage PPO plan.
“Anthem strives to give our Medicare Advantage consumers easier access
to healthcare services that align with our whole-person approach to
care, and the addition of IU Health to our HMO and DSNP networks is
consistent with that goal,” said David McNichols, President of Anthem’s
Central Medicare Region. “We look forward to working with IU Health and
its care providers to help Medicare-eligible individuals lead healthier
lives.”
Indiana University Health is one of the largest networks of physicians
in the state of Indiana and gives consumers access to leading-edge
medicine and treatment options that are available first, and often only,
at IU Health. Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with dozens of facilities
statewide, IU Health is a regional leader in providing the right
healthcare when and where it’s needed.
Anthem currently offers a number of health plans that meet the needs of
individuals eligible for Medicare. These plans are Anthem MediBlue
Plus (HMO), Anthem MediBlue Dual Advantage (HMO SNP), Anthem MediBlue
Extra (HMO), Anthem MediBlue Access (PPO), Anthem MediBlue Access Plus
(PPO), and Anthem MediBlue Access Basic (RPPO).
Some consumers are eligible to enroll in a Medicare plan today. These
individuals include those who are eligible for both Medicare and
Medicaid benefits; consumers who qualify for a special enrollment
period, such as those who recently moved; or individuals who are turning
65 and newly eligible for Medicare.
