Anthem Medical Plans
UMG offers two medical plans through Anthem, the Co-Pay (EPO) and PPO plans, which are available to employees nationwide. These Anthem plans use the same network of providers, so the list of doctors and facilities does not change depending on the plan.
Anthem Co-Pay (EPO)
With the Anthem Co-Pay (EPO) plan, you don’t need to select a primary care doctor or referral to see specialists. You will experience comprehensive care with lower premiums and co-pays, but you must use in-network providers and facilities (except in true emergencies). This plan works well for those who prefer to stay within Anthem’s extensive network of providers.
Anthem PPO
The Anthem PPO plan provides more flexibility, covering both in-network and out-of-network providers (after you meet the out-of-network deductible). Like the EPO plan, it does not require a primary care doctor or referrals for specialists. However, it comes with higher premiums and coinsurance, and you may be responsible for any balance billing from providers. For those who anticipate seeing a provider that does not accept insurance or is outside of Anthem’s network, this plan provides that option.
Insurance cards
You will receive your medical ID card in the mail about 2-3 weeks after enrolling in benefits. You can access your insurance cards online using these instructions.
You can register for an account for online access to your ID cards, medical and Rx benefits, claims status, and more.
How to get care
You may find in-network providers on Anthem’s website and search for the provider you need. From there, you can contact providers and schedule an appointment with them directly.
If you see an out-of-network provider, you will be responsible for meeting the out-of-network deductible before the plan begins contributing, up to your coinsurance. You will also be responsible for any amounts the provider charges above the reasonable and customary (R&C) rate. You can submit your out-of-network claims using these instructions.
