Lowering Healthcare Cost Trends in San Diego

Anthem Blue Cross and Scripps Health Reach New Agreement

“We are pleased to have reached a new multi-year agreement with Scripps Health that maintains in-network access for Anthem Blue Cross PPO and EPO members. The agreement reflects our commitment to protecting access to high-quality care while keeping health care affordable, and provides a foundation to work together to improve health outcomes and help lower health care cost trends.”

For HMO members and Medicare members: The new agreement does not include Anthem Blue Cross HMO or Medicare plans. Affected HMO members previously assigned to Scripps physicians have transitioned to new, in-network primary care physicians effective October 1. Medicare members should review their plan information or contact Anthem using the number on their member ID card for help understanding their coverage and available in-network care options.
