Rate Information:

quote page. The premium can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annual,
or annual billing, or a monthly bank draft. The bank draft will occur
on either the first or the sixteenth of each month. The initial premium
can be paid with a check, credit card, or bank draft.
PPO
Network:
Anthem
gives you access to one of the largest networks in Colorado, with nearly
8,500 health care providers and over 60 hospitals throughout the state.
Having access to the PPO network can mean substantial discounts in what
you pay for your health care, even before you meet your deductible.
The large list of doctors and hospitals can be viewed at the Anthem
PPO Online Provider Directory. Search the National BlueCard Directory
to find the providers that are in the Blue Cross network anywhere in the
country.
Underwriting:
Anthem
has one of the easiest, most efficient underwriting teams in the industry.
The process is very fast if no medical records are needed. While it
is always a good idea to apply at least three weeks prior to the time you
need your new coverage to take effect, most applications that are done online
are approved by Anthem within 24 hours. If medical records must be
ordered, the application process will take longer. The
company does have the right to accept or decline any individual or family
application. If you are currently being treated for depression, anxiety,
or high cholesterol, please let us know before you apply so we can avoid
unnecessary delays in getting you covered. If you are being treated
for high blood pressure, please include your latest test results including
blood pressure levels and cholesterol readings. If you have certain
conditions or take certain medications, Anthem may offer coverage at a higher
rate. For
an infant less than 6 months of age, Anthem requires nursery records from
the hospital where the infant was born, office records from the infant’s
pediatrician, and results of the newborn screening laboratory tests (available
from the hospital or pediatrician). Anyone
applying for Anthem coverage that has any of the following pre-existing
conditions also needs to complete the appropriate form and return it to
our office via fax (toll-free 866-284-0082) as promptly
as possible.
Effective dates:
The
coverage can go into effect in as quickly as 24 hours, though you do risk
being declined if claims are submitted before the underwriting process is
completed. You may request an effective date any time the date after
you sign the application and 60 days later. Please note that you will
be billed starting on your requested effective date, even if you have not
yet been notified that you have been approved. This is very good for
someone who does not have any present coverage and would like for their
benefits to begin right away. For those who are already covered, it
is suggested that you maintain your current coverage in force until you
have received notice from either ColoHealth
or directly from Anthem that your coverage has been approved and is in force. Your
earliest possible effective date will be the day after Anthem has received
all the necessary documents and information needed to process your application.
