Members’ rights and responsibilities

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

The delivery of quality healthcare requires cooperation between patients, their providers, and their healthcare benefit plans. One of the first steps is for patients and providers to understand their rights and responsibilities. Therefore, in line with our commitment to involve the health plan, participating practitioners and members in our system, Empire BlueCross BlueShield has adopted a Members’ Rights and Responsibilities statement.

 

It can be found on our website under the FAQ question about Laws and Rights that Protect You. To access, go to https://www.empireblue.com and select For Providers. From there, select Policies, Guidelines & Manuals under Provider Resources. Select your state, and scroll down to Member Rights and Responsibilities under More Resources. Choose the Read about member rights link. Practitioners may access the FEP member website at www.fepblue.org/memberrights to view the FEPDO Members’ Rights and Responsibilities statement.
