New select plans on our HealthPlus Medicare network

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

Empire BlueCross BlueShield's new Select Medicare Advantage plans on the HealthPlus Select Network (effective January 1, 2022) are available in four downstate counties — Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and New York. Medicare HealthPlus Select can be identified with a subscriber ID prefix of RXJ. Medicare HealthPlus Select is a custom-tailored set of new plans comprised of a more focused composition of providers and hospitals.

 

It is important to note that Medicare HealthPlus Select is not the same as the HealthPlus Medicare Advantage/ DSNP network, which rolled out earlier in 2021. Providers in Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and/or New York counties interested in joining Medicare HealthPlus Select should contact their Provider Collaboration Manager regarding the application process and eligibility criteria.
