Rates:

Rates are very competitive for those in their 20’s, and even for healthy people in their 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s.  Rates can be found on the Tonik rate sheet (pdf - 526KB), or by visiting the Tonik Online site.  Tonik is only available as an individual plan.  It will not cover dependents, so a husband and wife would have to apply separately.

PPO Network:

Tonik health plans come with referral-free access to the largest PPO network 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.  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.

The BlueCard® program provides health care access across the U.S. for members who are traveling and have a medical condition requiring immediate attention.  Members may call the BlueCard number on their health plan ID card, or visit the BlueCard Doctor and Hospital Finder at www.bcbs.com.  For travel outside of the U.S., only medical emergencies are covered.

Underwriting:

Underwriting on these plans is very rapid, and you will often know the same day if you have been accepted.  Applying for coverage online is easy, and only takes about 15 minutes to complete.  Underwriting for the Tonik plan is more strict than for other Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans.
