Anthem Medicare Preferred (PPO) Medical and Prescription Drug
The Anthem Medicare Preferred (PPO) Medical and Prescription Drug plan is a Medicare Advantage plan and available only to Medicare eligible retirees and their dependents.
The Anthem Medicare Preferred plan uses a network of health care providers but gives you the freedom to see providers outside of the network. No referrals are required. However, some benefits or services may need prior authorization. Your medical plan pays the same benefit for in-network providers and out-of-network providers who accept both Medicare and the Anthem plan. This plan provides reimbursement for all covered services regardless of whether they are received in-network or out-of-network and are a Medicare covered benefit.
The Anthem plan includes benefits such as the Healthy Meals program, Assistive Devices, Adult Day Care, Personal Emergency Response System, Non-Emergency Transportation, Health & Fitness Tracker and more.
In addition, the Anthem Medicare Preferred plan offers wellness programs at no extra cost. These programs include access to discounts on fitness club memberships, weight loss programs, nutritional supplements and more. You will also enjoy the flexibility of using just one card whenever you seek medical or prescription benefits.
Reminder: Like all of the County’s Medicare plans, to be enrolled in the Anthem Medicare Preferred plan, you must be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Part B. You also must continue to pay your Medicare premiums. Through a contract with Medicare, the Anthem Medicare Preferred Medical and Prescription Drug plan provides health care benefits and services covered by original Medicare. The prescription drug coverage is included with the medical plan, so you should not purchase a separate Medicare Part D plan.
