Our Unique, Integrated Healthcare Approach

Your members' health is our first priority. That's one of the reasons why Anthem has put so much emphasis on finding unique ways to partner with our providers. Working together, we ensure your members with emergent and/or chronic conditions get the care they need when they need it.

We're Experts In The Business

With more than 75 years of serving organized labor, we're loyal, dedicated, and our labor commitment has never been stronger. Our associates have long-term experience with labor and many of us grew up with personal roots in labor.

We continue to listen to labor's concerns and direct our product development resources to address those concerns through innovative solutions.

Partnerships Focused on Value

 

We believe that cost-effective healthcare begins with strong partnerships. By collaborating with labor unions and trusted care providers, we ensure that your workers receive the quality care they deserve.

High-Quality Care Focused on Affordability

 

At Anthem, we put quality and affordability at the forefront of healthcare for our members. In addition to negotiating competitive network rates, our value-based care (VBC) contracts with care providers prioritize results, helping to ensure members receive excellent care without unnecessary costs. By paying care providers for the quality of health outcomes, we’re helping members get the best possible care, not just more services. This value-based care approach has resulted in:

 

 An extensive network with 619,000 VBC providers accessible to nearly 70% of Anthem members nationwide (that’s 3 times more VBC providers than our competitors).1,2
 

 

 Improved preventive care, including 6% more breast cancer screenings and 6% more well-child visits.3
 

 

 Reduced use of unnecessary services, including 18% fewer outpatient specialty pharmacy services and 10% fewer 30-day readmissions.3

 

 

 Significant cost savings, including 10% savings on pharmacy, 7% savings on inpatient services, and 4% savings on emergency room services.3

How Digital Healthcare Delivers Cost-Effective Care

 

Anthem health plans include virtual care options that connect your members to care when they need it. Our SydneySM Health app provides convenient access to primary care doctors, therapists, and 24/7 care at low or no additional cost. Plus, members can fill prescriptions through the app, helping ensure they continue regular medications.

 

Virtual preventive care visits through the app are especially helpful for members who need to manage chronic conditions such as asthma, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes, leading to better health, fewer missed days, and improved productivity — all while saving money.

 

 U.S. adults who regularly see a primary care doctor have 33% lower healthcare costs.4

Savings With Integrated Benefits

 

Combining your Anthem benefits helps protect your members’ whole health while balancing costs. Anthem Whole Health ConnectionR provides a more complete picture of a member’s health by connecting data across medical, pharmacy, behavioral health, dental, vision, and supplemental benefits. Integrating benefits this way helps to coordinate care, close gaps in care, and cut down on costs — which is why we offer medical premium discounts when you add Anthem dental, vision, or supplemental health benefits to your Anthem medical plan.

 

Offering supplemental benefits means you can provide more coverage without financial risk. That’s because they are voluntary options that let your members choose extra benefits at competitive rates, with little to no cost for you.
