Anthem is extending coverage for COVID-19 care
Peace of mind is important for you and your employees. We want you to feel secure knowing your Anthem plan has your employees covered, and we are committed to providing the support and resources they need to protect themselves and their families.
We are extending coverage for COVID-19 care through December 31, 2020
If your employees or anyone on their health plan needs to be treated for COVID-19, we will cover the care with no copays or cost-sharing as long as they receive treatment from doctors, hospitals, and other health-care professionals in their plan's network.
We are extending coverage for care from home Telehealth doctor visits give your employees access to health care without leaving their home. Telehealth visits with health-care providers in their plan's network are covered at no cost to them until further notice. This includes visits that are not related to COVID-19. Encourage employees to ask their doctor if they offer telehealth visits.
The Virtual Care text feature on the Sydney Care mobile app allows your employees to chat with a doctor. Their first two text sessions are free through December 31, 2020. Additional text visits are $19 each.
The extended coverage applies to Anthem's Fully Insured groups and self-funded groups that have opted to provide the extended benefits to their members.
