Lumenos HIA and HIA Plus
 

Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the most known and trusted names in the health insurance industry.  With the Lumenos Health Incentive Account (HIA) plans you get exclusive health tools and personalized services designed to improve and maintain your health and enhanced control over your health care dollars.

There are two plans to choose from:

The basic Health Incentive Account (HIA) Plan and the Health Incentive Account Plus (HIA Plus) Plan.  With both plans you can earn money to apply towards eligible medical expenses by participating in the healthy rewards programs.  This is money that can be applied towards your yearly deductible if desired.  In addition, the HIA Plus plan will allocate up to $1,000 towards your account each year, to be used in the same capacity.  Any money not used in either HIA will rollover to the next year and is available to apply towards eligible medical expenses.

Rate Information:

Current rates are available on our instant 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.

All individual Lumenos plans have a one year rate guarantee, based on the anniversary date of the policy.  Anniversary month will be assigned for the first of the month if effective date is the first, or the following first of the month for requested effective dates after the first.

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.  The large list of doctors and hospitals can be viewed at the Anthem PPO Online Provider Directory.  Make sure to choose the "BluePreferred PPO" plan.  Policyholders can go to Blue Cross doctors anywhere in the country, and can even access a world-wide network.

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.  Certain conditions may be waivered with a temporary rider (usually for one to two years), or an indefinite rider.  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.

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 the applicant risks being declined if claims are submitted before the underwriting process is completed.  You may request an effective date any time after the date 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 policy 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.

About Anthem:

The company known today as Anthem is the outgrowth of two Indianapolis-based corporations formed in 1944 and 1946 as mutual insurance companies.  Those two companies were created to provide health insurance to residents of Indiana as Blue Cross of Indiana.  In the mid-1980s, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana began to diversify and expand, primarily through Blue Cross and Blue Shield mergers and acquisitions.  The Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies are independent licensees of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and currently serve more than 12.6 million customers in nine different states.

Anthem is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol ATH, and is the fifth largest publicly traded health benefits company in the United States.

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield has been assigned a rating of "A" (Excellent) from the A.M. Best Company, an independent insurance rating organization.

ColoHealth is an independent authorized Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield agent in Colorado.
