Anthem CT 2022 AEP Updates

We are 46% of the way through AEP! What a crazy time we are in. As mentioned last week, November is the month to share gratitude. Let’s kick start this week the right way and go over some updates, selling points and competition!

Medicare.gov DSNP RX

The MediBlue Dual Select HMO and MediBlue Dual Access PPO plans have $0 cost share on all tiers of prescriptions. You will notice on CMS.gov planfinder, DSNP Rx copays are not showing up as $0. This is a nuance with how the bids are filed under Value Based Insurance Design. Anthem is, in fact, at $0 copay for ALL Rx for both retail and mail order for both MediBlue Dual Select HMO and MediBlue Dual Access PPO. Due to nuances around VBID filing, CMS.gov planfinder will only show copays as filed in the bid and CMS.gov planfinder uses data directly from the bid filing, and are not able to capture the VBID nuances with this data.
