This collaboration will also give consumers increased access to care providers and medical specialties that will make it easier for them to receive the care they need in their community.”
In addition to this agreement, Imperial Health provides care to consumers enrolled in other Anthem Medicare Advantage plans, such as Anthem MediBlue Plus (HMO), Anthem MediBlue Coordination Plus (HMO), and Anthem MediBlue Dual Plus (HMO SNP).
