Medical Benefits
Anthem Blue Cross | HMO Medical Plan
With the Anthem Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, you must choose a primary care physician (PCP) or medical
group within the Anthem Full HMO network (Blue Cross HMO (CACare)- Large 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 | HSA Medical Plan
With the HSA plan through Anthem Blue Cross, you can pay for qualified healthcare expenses now and grow your savings for
future healthcare needs. This plan combines a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with a special, tax-qualified savings
account (HSA).
Anthem Blue Cross | PPO Medical Plan
The Anthem Blue Cross Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan allows you to direct your own care. Similar to the HSA
plan, you are not limited to the physicians within the network and you may self-refer to specialists. If you receive care from
a physician who is a member of the network, a greater percentage of the entire cost will be paid by the insurance plan. 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.
