What is an Anthem In-network Doctor?

A doctor or other healthcare provider who accepts an Anthem insurance plan is said to be “in-network.” Anthem Medicare Advantage plans have a list of network providers who have agreed to accept the plan and may include: 

• Primary care doctors or general practitioners
• Specialists
• Dentists
• Eye doctors
• Pharmacies
• Facilities like hospitals and rehab centers
• Medical equipment suppliers

Why Should I See an Anthem In-network Doctor?

If you have an Anthem Medicare Advantage plan, seeing an Anthem in-network doctor is one of the best ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs for care.  

If you are enrolled in an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan, your coverage will be restricted to only care that is administered by an in-network provider. If you visit a provider who is not part of the Anthem network, you will not receive any coverage for your care and will have to pay for the appointment out of pocket. 

If you are enrolled in a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan, you may still receive some coverage when visiting an out-of-network provider but will maximize your coverage by remaining in the Anthem network of providers for your care.

One exception is with emergency care, which is required by law to be covered at the same rate regardless of whether or not the provider is in network.
