Vivid Impact Team Members,
Earlier this year, Humana announced they are no longer offering group medical coverage. Starting September 1, 2023, Vivid Impact’s medical, dental and vision coverage will be offered through Anthem. You’ll have the same plan offerings through Anthem and your rates will stay the same. Below are a few things to keep in mind as we make this move from Humana to Anthem:
·
You do not need to do anything!
We will make sure you are enrolled in the same plan with the same coverage type for medical, dental and vision (if applicable) with Anthem for September 1 – December 31, 2023. As always, you will have an opportunity at Open Enrollment in November to make any changes to your current elections for the January 1, 2024 renewal.
·
Your deductible and out of pocket accumulations with Humana will be credited toward the Anthem plan!plan
If you have met or have had payments toward your deductible and maximum out of pocket on the current Humana plan, those amounts will be credited to the Anthem plan. Please note the credits will be applied approximately 4-6 weeks after the September 1 effective date.
·
Great, extensive network of doctors and hospitals!
The Anthem medical network is the Blue Access PPO network. In Kentucky, the Blue Access PPO network includes 100% of the hospitals and 96% of providers. To find out if your providers are in-network go to anthem.com/find-care/.
·
Talk to your doctor now about prescription differences between Humana and Anthem.
If you are taking a maintenance medication (monthly medication to manage a chronic condition) make sure to get your last fill through the Humana plan as close to September 1st1st as possible. That way you have time to work with your provider and the pharmacy to update your information to Anthem’s plan in time for the monthly fill needed in September. Anthem’s drug list is the Essential list. You may have to move to a drug equivalent covered under Anthem as all carriers have different drug lists.
·
Vivid Impact’s Silver status premium discount will continue through 12/31/2023.
If you are currently receiving the Silver status discount, you will continue to receive the discount through 12/31/2023 toward the Anthem medical coverage.
