Urgent: Medicare Plan Finder Website Errors in Anthem Blue Cross California Medicare Advantage Plans

October 6, 2016

There are errors on the Medicare Plan Finder website, Medicare.gov, and within the “2017 Medicare & You Handbook” regarding some Anthem Blue Cross Medicare Advantage plans. The errors are limited to the state of California (CA) and include the counties of Santa Clara, Kings, Tulare, Madera, Stanislaus, San Bernardino, Riverside and Fresno. The benefit information for Fresno MediBlue Plus (HMO) Plan is incorrect, and the service area information for Santa Clara, Kings, Tulare, Madera, Stanislaus, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties is also incorrect.

Medicare.gov is an important resource for beneficiaries and agents/brokers who wish to enroll in, or market, Anthem Medicare Advantage and Part D plans. Until the errors are corrected, in order to ensure you are sharing accurate information with your clients, agents/brokers should refer to the printed enrollment materials, all validated as accurate (this includes printed enrollment kits). Enrollment materials can be found by visiting https://www.anthem.com/ca/.
