Live your life without knee or hip pain

If you experience hip or knee pain, everyday activities can be challenging, and discomfort can even keep you up at night.

When other treatment options don’t provide relief, it may be time for surgery. As part of the plan, you have access to a Designated Orthopedic Network of facilities specifically developed for hip and knee replacements (for your primary procedure and/or revision surgery). This special Designated Network ensures you can receive high quality care, and costs.

Starting January, 2026, Anthem plan members will be directed to Designated Network facilities for hip and knee procedures, where they can benefit from coordinated care, advanced resources, and trusted specialists.

Should you need a hip or knee replacement and/or revision, your care will be directed to one of our Designated Orthopedic Network facilities to ensure the best outcomes.

To receive these benefits, procedures must be performed at one of the Designated Orthopedic Network facilities. Services received at a facility outside of the Designated Orthopedic Network are not eligible for coverage under any benefit tier; however, you may request an exception through the appeal process, and individual circumstances will be reviewed.²
