IU has just announced that our medical insurance will be changing to Anthem effective July 1! The decision to change was just made this morning and more details will follow. The information I've been given is that premiums will continue to be paid by IU, but there may be changes to co-pays. Cigna will continue to be our dental insurance provider.
Please make sure that your spouse watches for and forwards e-mails with details and the new physician provider directory. You also might want to be proactive and check with any current healthcare providers about whether they accept Anthem. Especially anyone expecting after July 1!
Sorry for the late notice on this one! I didn't hear any rumors till this afternoon, but I will keep you posted with any updates.

Update: Sounds as if it is all set for July 1. Our new cards should arrive in June! Your spouse should have gotten an e-mail with the details. I forwarded the e-mail to everyone on our e-mail list as well.
Has anyone heard anything more about the insurance changing? My husband (surgery resident) hasn't heard anything yet about this.
ReplyDeleteI'll try this again from an account I actually use!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't heard anything more. I did look online at an Anthem provider directory. Without knowing what type of plan we will have it's hard to be sure, but it seemed like our docs were all in their network. I talked to someone who have Anthem as well and they felt that it's been accepted by the most docs and that it has good Rx coverage. I'll make some calls this week if we don't hear anything.
