The Anthem IU Resident PPO medical plan is administered by Anthem and is available to all eligible Medical & Optometry residents. The plan includes comprehensive coverage for medical, prescription, vision, behavioral health, and organ transplant services with no pre-existing condition limits or waiting periods. When network providers are used, participants receive full benefits. Partial benefits are received from non-network providers, except in the case of an emergency.

Account Access

Plan Basics

Overview

This is a traditional PPO medical plan. Under this plan, all covered services (except preventive, emergency room, in-network urgent care, prescriptions, and transplants) are subject to the annual deductible. You pay flat-dollar copays for prescriptions and emergency/urgent care, with most other in-network services covered with a 20% coinsurance after you meet your deductible.

This plan uses the Anthem Blue Access PPO network in Indiana, the Anthem National PPO (BlueCard PPO) network in other states, and the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Core network overseas. You can visit any provider or facility, but you receive a higher level of benefits when you use in-network providers. Find a network provider.

This plan includes a travel benefit of up to $2,000 annually for covered medical services that are not available within 100 miles of the member’s home.

Monthly Premiums

Premiums for eligible residents and qualifying dependents are fully paid by the affiliated hospitals through the School of Medicine Office of Graduate Medical Education.
