Anthem Blue Cross Medicare Advantage Plans in California

Important: Medicare Advantage plans are local. Doctors, hospitals, drug coverage, dental benefits, copays, and maximum out-of-pocket costs can change by county and ZIP code. Before enrolling in an Anthem Blue Cross Medicare Advantage plan, make sure your doctors, hospital, prescriptions, and preferred pharmacy fit the plan.

Is Anthem Medicare Advantage right for you?

Anthem Medicare Advantage plans may combine hospital, doctor, prescription drug coverage, and extra benefits such as dental, vision, hearing, and fitness benefits. Plan availability and benefits vary by county, so the “best” plan is the one that fits your doctors, prescriptions, and budget.

Start with these questions:

• Are your doctors and hospitals in the Anthem network?
• Are your prescriptions covered at a reasonable cost?
• Do you prefer an HMO, PPO, or Special Needs Plan?
• Would you be better off with Medigap instead of Medicare Advantage?
• Do you also have Medi-Cal, making a Special Needs Plan worth reviewing?

Check doctors before you enroll

Provider networks are one of the biggest issues with Medicare Advantage. Please check your primary doctor, specialists, hospitals, and medical groups before enrolling.
