What action do I need to take?

 

Please review these changes and work with your Anthem HealthKeepers Plus and Anthem CCC Plus patients to transition them to formulary alternatives. If you determine formulary alternatives are not clinically appropriate for specific patients, you will need to obtain prior authorization to continue coverage beyond the applicable effective date.

 

What if I need assistance?

 

We recognize the unique aspects of patients’ cases. If your Anthem HealthKeepers Plus patient cannot be converted to a formulary alternative, call our Pharmacy department at 1‑800‑901‑0020 and follow the voice prompts for pharmacy prior authorization. You can find the Preferred Drug List (formulary) on our provider website at https://mediproviders.anthem.com/va.

 

If you need assistance with any other item, contact your local Provider Relations representative or call Provider Services at:

  • 1-800-901-0020 (Anthem HealthKeepers Plus).
  • 1-855-323-4687 (Anthem CCC Plus).
