Anthem is a leading health insurance provider and a Blue Cross and Blue Shield company, offering coverage for individuals, families, employers, Medicare, and Medicaid. It serves millions of members across multiple states, focusing on affordability, accessibility, and innovative healthcare solutions.

The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) is a national network of 33 independent, locally operated companies providing health coverage to 115 million members across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. BCBS partners with over 1.7 million doctors and hospitals, making it the largest healthcare insurer network in the U.S.

The health plan is contracted with Anthem because the plan sponsor is based in Anthem’s service area, ensuring access to Anthem’s extensive provider network and local expertise. As a Blue Cross and Blue Shield company, Anthem offers comprehensive coverage, competitive rates, and strong relationships with healthcare providers in the region. This partnership helps deliver high-quality, cost-effective care to members while maintaining seamless access to nationwide Blue Cross Blue Shield networks.

Northwell is integrated into the 2-tier health plan as a key provider, offering access to its hospitals, physicians, and specialized care services. Northwell Direct hospitals and providers are part of the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield network, with claims processed at Northwell’s directly contracted rate instead of the standard Blue Cross Blue Shield rate. As Tier 1 providers, Northwell ensures high-quality, cost-effective care with lower out-of-pocket costs for members.
