Anthem's members receive COVID-19 treatment at no cost

Dear trusted partner, We know these are challenging times, and want you to know that Anthem remains deeply committed to supporting you and the communities we serve as we join together as a nation to weather this health crisis. This is why we're focused on addressing critical issues that need attention now, including affordability and access. We're taking unprecedented action to eliminate your employees' cost shares if they receive treatment for COVID-19 from doctors, hospitals, and other health care professionals from April 1 through May 31, 2020. Their COVID-19 testing is covered, too. They'll also pay nothing if they have a telehealth visit with a doctor in their plan through June 14, 2020. We know your employees already have enough things to worry about these days. Paying for treatment for this disease shouldn't be one of them. We want them to focus on their health and care for their loved ones. During this time of stress and uncertainty, we stand by our legacy and commitment to your company and employees. Our mission remains unchanged: to improving lives and the health of our communities. Sincerely, Peter D. Haytaian Executive Vice President and President Commercial and Specialty Business Division
