Medical Options
Anthem Blue Cross | HMO Medical Plan:
With the Anthem Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), you must choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) or medical group. All
of your care must be directed through your PCP or medical group. Any specialty care you need will be coordinated through your
PCP and will generally require a referral or authorization. You will receive benefits only if you use the doctors, clinics and hospitals
that belong to the medical group in which you are enrolled, except in the case of an emergency.
Anthem Blue Cross | PPO Medical Plan:
With the Anthem Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan, you have the freedom to choose your doctor without using a Primary
Care Physician (PCP) and you may self‐refer to specialists. You may use a PPO provider whose negotiated rates provide richer levels
of benefits with claim forms filed by the providers. You may also obtain services using a non‐network provider; however, you will
be responsible for the difference between the covered amount and the actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims.
Non-network benefits will be based on the allowable amounts determined by Anthem.
