Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield is one of the oldest and strongest Virginia health insurance companies.  Owned as part of the Wellpoint group, Anthem is available in all areas of Virginia west of Route 123/Chain Bridge Road.  Anthem has one of the largest provider networks in the state of Virginia and allows access to the Blue Cross/Blue Shield network nationwide, so you don’t have to worry about your coverage when you travel.  The network includes over 94 million members and has in-network benefits at nearly 90% of physicians and 80% of hospitals nationwide.  The network re-pricing discounts just for being a member average more than 48% per claim, saving you money even when you haven’t met your chosen deductible.

Anthem offers among the most comprehensive preventative care benefits in the entire industry and DOES NOT EXCLUDE PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS if approved for coverage (assuming at least 12 months of prior coverage in force with no break of more than 63 days).  Other health insurance companies may exclude pre-existing conditions upon underwriting completion.
