Ready to become a provider in the Anthem network?

We look forward to working with you to provide quality service for our members.

Payments for services from a non-participating provider are generally sent to the member, except where federal or state mandates apply, or negotiated agreements are in place.

In addition to using a telehealth service, you can receive in-person or virtual care from your own doctor or another healthcare professional in your plan’s network. If you receive care from a doctor or healthcare professional not in your plan’s network, your share of the costs may be higher. You may also receive a bill for any charges not covered by your health plan.

Sydney Health is offered through an arrangement with Carelon Digital Platforms, a separate company offering mobile application services on behalf of your health plan. ©2020-2022 The Virtual Primary Care experience is offered through an arrangement with Hydrogen Health.
