Medicare Supplement insurance with Anthem Blue Cross gives you great options in California. You can see any doctor who accepts Medicare without a referral, while getting the extra coverage you need. Want help staying healthy and active, too? You’ll have access to our hugely popular fitness program, SilverSneakers®, through our currently offered Medicare Supplement plans.
Medicare Supplement insurance, also called “Medigap,” is a type of plan you can add to Original Medicare to pay for things that Parts A and B don’t cover like your coinsurance, copays, or the Part A and Part B deductibles. Just be sure to enroll in Original Medicare before adding a Medicare Supplement plan.
At Anthem, we’ve been serving California for over 75 years. Come find which plan is right for you!
