Your health plan has three tiers of coverage – HealthSync, In Network and Out of Network. The least expensive costs are achieved when you stay in the HealthSync network - Tier 1. You may still access care from providers in the Anthem PPO network (Tier 2), just as before, and those expenses will be considered in-network. Providers in Tier 3 will be considered out of network. Tier 1 These providers have agreed to become even stronger partners, including providing enhanced HealthSync service levels to patients, meeting best practice quality standards and charging the most cost-effective fees for their services. A great deal of work and research has gone into creating this network level to further benefit patients, providers and the health plans. HealthSync providers will work hard to see patients the same day when needed (or as soon as possible if not urgent), help coordinate your care with other providers you may have to bring a more consolidated care approach and help you find your way through the healthcare system. Tier 2 These providers continue to be partners in the plans, even though they are not contracted within In-network, but the HealthSync network. You may still access care from providers in the Anthem network, just as not HealthSync before, and those expenses will be considered in-network. Tier 3 These providers do not have contracted arrangements through Anthem, meaning there are no set Out-of-network limits for what they can charge, leaving you with more to pay out-of-pocket for services.
