Anthem Blue Cross has announced the 2012 Feller-Freed open enrollment period. For those eligible under the Feller-Freed settlement, the following applies.
Open enrollment will be from April 20,2012 to June 4, 2012. During this period, anyone eligible for a plan change under Feller-Freed may make the plan change election to a new plan.
Anthem Blue Cross subscribers will receive notification with election options in the next few days. This applies to any Feller-Freed settlement beneficiary who has a rate increase on their PPO Share plan. Those with no increase or a decrease are not eligible to change plans during this open enrollment.
Due to the announced closure by Anthem Blue Cross of certain plans originally part of the Feller-Freed settlement (Clear Protection Plus 5000 and Core Guard 7500/10000), other plans have been substituted by Blue Cross to arrive at the required number of available plan choices.
Choices include:
*Certain PPO Share plans (Closed) depending on original plan
*PPO Share 1000*, 3500, 5000, 5000* and 7500
*HMO and HMO Saver
*Individual Select HMO
*Core Guard Plus 750, 3500 and 5000 PPO plans
*Clear Protection Plus 3300 PPO
*Premier Plus 5000 and 6000 PPO
*SmartSense Plus 6000 std drug and 6000 with drug upgrade
As always, members affected by the Feller-Freed settlement should contact their agent of record regarding assistance with plan changes. If you do not know who your agent of record is, contact Anthem membership at 800-333-0912 and they will provide you with contact information for your agent.
Anthem Blue Cross members who are 'in house' accounts and purchased their PPO Share plan directly from Blue Cross without an agent may contact Anthem Blue Cross directly or may seek assistance from an independent agent. I require an AOR (agent of record) change letter before I will assist with any plan changes for 'in house' members.

* both the PPO Share 1000 and 5000 have dual registration with both the CDI and DMHC. Both registration change options may be available for these specific plans.
