State of Connecticut employer group and Connecticut partnership plan
Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.
Effective October 1, 2020 Anthem became the sole medical carrier for the State of Connecticut Employer Group and the Connecticut Partnership Plan.
Members with the State BlueCare plans listed below have out of area privileges and can be seen by New York Empire BlueCross BlueShield (“Empire”) providers who are participating in the Empire HMO and/or Traditional network. Please see blank suitcase in the sample ID card below which indicates their national out of area privileges. These members should be considered BlueCard eligible members and claims submission should follow those rules. The majority of State and Partnership members have a BlueCare plan.
Members with the State Preferred plan (only) will use the PPO network and submit through BlueCard.
