Important updates for 2024
- New plans include the same medical benefits you expect. To cover members’ whole health, some plans now include adult dental and vision.
- Some members who are enrolled in a 2023 Bronze plan may qualify for a 2024 Silver Cost Share Reduction (CSR) plan offered by the Marketplace to help reduce their out-of-pocket costs. CMS will communicate with Bronze members who are automatically enrolled in a Silver CSR plan. Anthem renewals will still reflect a Bronze plan on broker and member portals until January 5, 2024. If a member prefers to keep their Bronze plan or choose another plan, they must enroll in the preferred plan by December 15, 2023.
- Increased rewards to $45 for annual exams in the first 180 days for members and spouses or domestic partners.

1 Nationally recommended preventive care services received in-network have no copay and no deductible requirement.
2 Virtual care visits, including medical chats and video visits using the Sydney Health app are at no cost to members for most plans. Those enrolled in High-Deductible Health Plans associated with a Health Savings Account and Catastrophic plans must first meet their deductible. Virtual care visits refer to medical chats and/or video consultation, as deemed appropriate by a licensed physician. In addition to using a telehealth service, members can receive in-person or virtual care from their own doctor or another healthcare provider in their plan’s network. If members receive care from a doctor or healthcare provider not in their plan’s network their share of the costs may be higher. Members may also receive a bill for any charges not covered by their health plan.
