The expansion brings offerings previously reserved for large employers to companies with fewer than 100 employees, according to an Oct. 25 news release.
Provided as an HMO option to employers, the plan leverages Anthem’s network of providers, as well as virtual physician visits, low-cost prescription coverage, behavioral healthcare and low- or no-cost copays, according to the news release. For large groups, Vivity Health Plan has 20 to 25 percent lower premiums compared to leading Anthem HMO networks.
“We’re pleased to offer small businesses and employees in Los Angeles and Orange counties access to Vivity which is a highly-differentiated product and provider network that features some of the nation’s top-ranked health systems,” said Mark Reynolds, Anthem Blue Cross COO. “Vivity has been part of Anthem’s large group portfolio since 2015 and timing is right to offer the same high-quality care, personalized experience, exceptional service, and affordable pricing to our small group customers.”
