Change in claims administration for Butte County schools

Self-Insured Schools of California (SISC) covers several school districts in Butte County. Currently, AmeriBen is the third-party administrator of these plans. Starting January 1, 2025, SISC will switch the administration of these plans back to Anthem. Anthem will handle all benefits administration, including claims payment, benefit inquiries, and appeals for services provided on or after this date. Please make sure to obtain a new member ID card to verify benefits and eligibility and for the latest information on claim submission.

In connection with this change, SISC plans use American Specialty Health and Carelon Medical Benefits Management, Inc. Therefore, for the newly effective Butte County schools, please ensure that any required prior authorizations for services on or after January 1, 2025, are obtained from the appropriate vendors. Contact Anthem customer service at 800-825-5541 if you have any questions.
