a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia (BCBSGa) plan, you can count on the

Today, we want you to know, it’s your purpose that’s at the heart of our

Tell us about youYour size, your people, your budget

Do you like your current plan, but need to lower costs? Check.

Would your employees like incentives to stay healthy? Got them.

Want a high-deductible plan that offers more ways to save? Done.

Are you a big fan of lots of bells and whistles? Ring.

We’re ready to give you that special something you won’t fi nd anywhere else. And like

any great relationship, when you’re happy, we’re happy. And that’s pretty healthy.

So let’s get to it!

Welcome to a new kind of doctor-patient relationship created just for BCBSGa members

It’s called Enhanced Personal Health Care and it’s the kind of care everybody wants

Our new model puts patients in a unique circle of care, making them the central focus on a team approach

to their overall health. We do this by:

Paying doctors for value over volume when they improve patient health, meet quality standards and

lower costs.

Giving doctors added support with the right tools and strategies to help strengthen the doctor-patient

relationship so they can spend more time with patients and coordinate their care with other doctors.

Improving the patient experience with better access to a primary care physician (PCP) who cares for the

“whole person” and becomes their health care champion and helps them navigate the health care system.

Enhanced Personal Health Care: a physician’s perspective“This partnership is truly refreshing. It’s a practice that’s centered on the patient. That’s why

we have extended hours and systems in place to try and help the patients receive the care

that they require. It’s a win for everybody. The more doctors we can get involved in the

process, I think the better the health care system in general will be.”– Frank Maselli, M.D., Family Practitioner, Riverdale Family Practice

Medical plans to fi t every type of business need

With unbeatable health and wellness extras that deliver superior long-term value

Get ready to meet your match! No matter what the size of your business and your unique needs and

preferences, you’ll fi nd the right health plan, right here. We offer a full range of high-quality plans for every

budget. Our commitment to you is to get it exactly right.

Here’s a brief explanation of the types of health plans we offer. For specifi c information, you can refer to the

product grids at the back of this brochure.

.... Affordable

HMO A health maintenance organization only covers services from providers in the HMO plan network.

Members must choose a PCP in the network. If a specialist is needed, the PCP provides a referral.

POS Point of service allows members to see providers in the network or outside of the network. Members pay

substantially less out of pocket when they use a provider in the POS network. To see a specialist, members

must get a referral from their PCP.

PPO A preferred provider organization allows members to see providers in network or out of network.

Members pay substantially less out of pocket when they use a provider in the PPO network. There’s no need

to get a referral to see a specialist.

CDHP Consumer driven health plans feature higher deductibles than traditional insurance plans. They can

be paired with a health savings account or a health reimbursement account allowing members to pay for

qualifi ed out-of-pocket medical expenses.

HSA Health savings account is a savings account members can fund with pretax dollars and

apply toward qualifi ed health care expenses, including prescriptions.

A choice of provider networks

You have a choice of networks. See page 24 for further information.

Balanced funding is a new funding solution for Small Group employers with 10 or more employees.

It’s similar to a fully insured plan where employers pay a fi xed payment based on enrollment each month, but if

employees are healthy and have low usage of benefi ts, then employers could get money back at the end of the year.

Affordable

If you’re looking for a new option with savings potential, then balanced funding could be right for you

With a fully insured plan, you pay a set

premium each month (varies only by

enrollment) and no matter how much or

how little your employees use the plan,

you pay the same amount. With BCBSGa

Balanced Funding, you get the same

predictability of a fully insured plan with

fi xed monthly payments, but when your

group’s claims are better than expected,

you could get money back. You can also

save on some of the premium and health

care reform taxes!

Predictable monthly payments with a limit on fi nancial responsibility

Unlike fully insured plans, if you have a healthier than expected year,

you could get money back

You make a fi xed monthly payment that covers all of

your health care costs

Pharmacy benefits Together with medical — better and easier than ever

You may not know it, but pharmacy benefits are the most widely used benefits. At BCBSGa,

we’re not just pricing a bottle of pills, or focusing on pharmacy costs alone — we’re looking

at the bigger picture — the value of better health.

And we make it easy. You can offer your employees access to the care they need and you get

one seamless, simple experience: one website, one contact, one account team, one contract

and one invoice. Our pharmacy and medical experts are at the same table, have the same

resources and work together to help your employees live healthier.

When pharmacy and medical are combined, we can target members with specific

messaging such as cost savings for generics and therapeutic equivalents. And we can coordinate

that messaging between the member and the physician to identify and close gaps in care, switch

members to more effective and less expensive drugs and communicate safety concerns.

Our Dental Prime and Dental Complete plans are built for greater choices, better oral health

and ultimate business value.

We’re helping change the face of health care by

simplifying how our medical and dental plans

work together — delivering more complete care

at an affordable cost with less hassle.

Good dental health and early detection can play an important role in helping your employees stay healthy.

In fact, 90% of the body’s diseases show signs and symptoms in the mouth.2

Dentists often have the fi rst opportunity to notice early signs of a chronic disease. Our Dental Prime and Dental

Complete plans offer these benefi ts for optimal oral and overall health.

That’s why many of our plans have 100% coverage for preventive services, such as exams, cleanings and X-rays.

In addition, we have automatic enrollment for an additional cleaning or periodontal treatment for pregnant and

diabetic members engaged in one of our diabetic or maternal health care management programs.

For product details, see the grid at back of this brochure.

a clear path to overall health with Blue View VisionSM

Vision care plays a powerful role in early detection and more

effective management of chronic conditions. In fact, eye exams

are an important avenue to identify high-risk conditions like

diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

When we connect Blue View Vision with our medical plans

through electronic health records, providers can see the

total health of the member which helps them deliver better,

more informed care. It also leads to lower costs and simplifi ed

plan management.

Connection of care2

Claims and clinical data go into members’ electronic health fi les

Vision providers can see information quickly

Automatic referrals go to our ConditionCare program if a health issue is found

For a list of Blue View Vision plans, see the grid at back of this brochure.

At the heart of BCBSGa’s more personalized approach to health care is building better connections between employers and employees, patients and doctors, people and better health.

The Cancer Care Quality Program is

a new innovative initiative that allows

oncologists to compare planned cancer

treatments against evidence-based clinical

criteria and potentially receive enhanced

reimbursement. A goal of the program is to

promote access to quality, evidence-based,

affordable health care for our members and

to provide the framework to begin changing

the cancer care paradigm. This program also

allows our members to be identifi ed earlier

for our Case Management program.

Testimonials

Vince, IT

Future Moms

Vince is the go-to guy for computer issues and

almost everything else technical. Always in

control, no one thought he’d be such a

nervous wreck when he found out his wife,

Mary, was expecting. He’s been hounding

everyone with questions, even the mail lady.

Michelle, the offi ce manager tells him about

BCBSGa’s Future Moms program and gives

him the number. As soon as he gets home,

Vince and Mary call Future Moms and are

connected to Mandie, a registered

nurse who talks to them about risk

factors, screenings and healthy choices

for safe deliveries. Mandie is going to

send them books and more resources

and tells them to call anytime because

Future Moms nurses are available 24/7.

Mary called back twice, that night.

SB OFFICE SUPPLIES

A story of health and

wellness benefi ts in action

Meet SB Offi ce Supplies

Georgi, Accounting

24/7 NurseLine

Georgi’s daughter, Tina, is an 8-year-old soccer fi end who never stops

running and rarely gets sick. So when Georgi hears her crying at 1 a.m.,

she knows something’s defi nitely wrong. Georgi calls 24/7 NurseLine and

tells the nurse Tina’s symptoms. The nurse says Tina’s temperature is a bit

too high and suggests that Georgi take her to an urgent care center. Georgi

thanks the nurse and jumps on her <Anthem> mobile app to get directions

to the nearest urgent care. Soon Tina is back up to speed and Georgi feels

like the best mom in the world because she had these great resources at

her fi ngertips to help her child get better quickly.

Raja, Warehouse

ConditionCare

Raja has dealt with loud warehouse workers for years. Nothing

surprises or scares her, except when she feels an asthma attack

coming on. Because she has <Anthem>, her medical claims were

fl agged and sent to a ConditionCare nurse, Kacey, who called Raja right

away. After yelling at her crew to pipe down, Raja talked with Kacey

about taking her medication, using an inhaler and avoiding triggers.

Kacey promised to follow up with Raja soon, but in the meantime, she

plans to send her information and helpful resources and maybe she’ll

even throw in some earplugs.

Devon, Operations

Healthy Lifestyles

When the offi ce elevator went out, Devon had to

walk up two fl ights of stairs. By the time he got to

his desk, he looked like he was caught in a

downpour. Unfettered, he grabbed his usual

breakfast doughnut and opened his fi rst email.

It was from BCBSGa’s Healthy Lifestyles program

and it was about weight management! He double

checked to see if maybe it was actually from

his wife. But then he remembered doing an

online health survey at bcbsga.com where

he answered questions about his weight

concerns. Maybe it was a sign. He logged

into Healthy Lifestyles, completed his

personalized well-being plan and made

a commitment to start working toward his

health goals. Now he has access to resources

for weight management, online tools for fi tness

and nutrition and support from online coaches

and communities.

Mark, Sales

LiveHealth Online

Mark is a Sales rep who loves to chat, but lately

his coughing and sneezing is making everyone

run and hide. He’s got no time to see a doctor,

so Michelle, the offi ce manager, is brave

enough to pull him into a conference room

and show him how to use LiveHealth Online to

visit a doctor with an app on his smartphone.

Mark can’t believe he’s connected with a

board-certifi ed doctor in seconds who gives

him a diagnosis: “You have a virus. Go home,

get some rest and if you don’t feel better in a

few days, follow up with your primary care

doctor.” Mark follows the doctor’s directions

and the whole offi ce feels better.

Georgi, Accounting

24/7 NurseLine

Georgi’s daughter, Tina, is an 8-year-old

soccer fi end who never stops running and

rarely gets sick. So when Georgi hears her

crying at 1 a.m., she knows something’s

defi nitely wrong. Georgi calls 24/7 NurseLine

and tells the nurse Tina’s symptoms. The nurse

says Tina’s temperature is a bit too high and

suggests that Georgi take her to an urgent care

center. The nurse fi nds several in-network

urgent care centers near Georgi. One of them is

right around the corner. Soon Tina is back up to

speed and Georgi feels like the best mom in the

world because she had these great resources at

her fi ngertips to help her child get better quickly.

Raja, Warehouse

ConditionCare

Raja has dealt with loud warehouse workers for

years. Nothing surprises or scares her, except

when she feels an asthma attack coming on.

Because she has BCBSGa, her medical claims

were fl agged and sent to a ConditionCare

nurse, Kacey, who called Raja right away.

After yelling at her crew to pipe down, Raja

talked with Kacey about taking her medication,

using an inhaler and avoiding triggers.

Kacey promised to follow up with Raja soon,

but in the meantime, she plans to send her

information and helpful resources and maybe

she’ll even throw in some earplugs.

It’s time to meet your matchYou’ll fi nd it here, in one of the most comprehensive product portfolios in the market

We know each employer has a unique mix of employees and needs. So we designed

a great portfolio of plan options that allows you to create the ultimate benefi ts

package that’s perfect for your group. It’s a simple but strong strategy that gets right

to the heart of the matter: the health of your business.

So let’s get started. See which type of plan speaks to what’s most important to you.

Like what you have, but need lower costs?

Employees have healthy

living down to a science?

Want savings for you and your

employees?

How about a health plan with all the

bells and whistles?

Our Pathway Enhanced Network Plans

For employers who want to keep the type of

plan they have, but need to lower costs

If you like your current plan, but the cost has got

you worried, this can be a great option. Do you like

predictable costs (like knowing copay amounts for

offi ce visits)? You can still offer that, but save money

by moving to a more narrow network:

Same great products and benefi t structure

Narrow network

Lower premiums

In-network preventive care covered 100%

Look for Pathway Enhanced Network plans on the

following page to see all your options.

Healthy Support

If your employees have healthy living down

to a science, you can actually bank on that

There’s value in healthier employees, and here’s a

good way to make that work for everyone. These plans

are like our basic plans, but offer some additional ways

to bring the price down. It also gives employees

incentives for getting healthy and staying healthy:

Narrow networks lower your costs

Drug list is designed for more savings, like

using more generics

Wellness package provides up to $700 in

incentives for employees who take healthy actions

In-network preventive care covered 100%

Adult dental and adult vision is covered

Look for our Plus Plans on the following pages to

see all your options.

High-deductible health plans

An alternative benefi t option that offers

savings for you and your employees

When employees have a greater stake in the game,

they’ll most likely make smarter health care

decisions and use their benefi ts more wisely. With

this plan option, employees have more control over

how they spend their health care dollars, and could

save on premiums. These plans, also known as

consumer-driven health plans (CDHP)s, can be paired

with a health savings account (HSA), which offers tax

savings to employees:

Higher deductibles

Lower premiums

HSA-qualifi ed plan options

In-network preventive care covered 100%

Traditional HMO and POS plans

The one with all the bells and whistles

These are the plans that your employees may be

most familiar with. They have predictable costs,

like offering lower copays and deductibles. And

employees have access to a strong network of

doctors and hospitals, so there’s a great chance they

can stick with the doctors they know and love:

Rich benefi ts

Large networks

1 Here’s a reminder of nonembedded versus embedded deductible products: Nonembedded Accumulation: All family members have a shared deductible and out-of-pocket (OOP) maximum, regardless of the number of family members. The entire deductible must be satisfied before any one member of the family can begin receiving benefits. The entire OOP must be satisfied before the family has satisfied the OOP maximum. Embedded Accumulation: Each member has an individual deductible/OOP amount. Any deductible amount contributed by an individual family member will apply to the family deductible amount, but no individual family member is required to contribute more to the family deductible than their individual deductible amount. The OOP accumulates on an embedded basis also.

1 Here’s a reminder of nonembedded versus embedded deductible products: Nonembedded Accumulation: All family members have a shared deductible and out-of-pocket (OOP) maximum, regardless of the number of family members. The entire deductible must be satisfi ed before any one member of the family can begin receiving benefi ts. The entire OOP must be satisfi ed before the family has satisfi ed the OOP maximum. Embedded Accumulation: Each member has an individual deductible/OOP amount. Any deductible amount contributed by an individual family member will apply to the family deductible amount, but no individual family member is required to contribute more to the family deductible than their individual deductible amount. The OOP accumulates on an embedded basis also.

Product details

The updated naming structure includes these elements:

brand + metal tier + network name + product type + copay or deductible/coinsurance/out-of-pocket maximum

1 Here’s a reminder of nonembedded versus embedded deductible products: Nonembedded Accumulation: All family members have a shared deductible and out-of-pocket (OOP) maximum, regardless of the number of family members. The entire deductible must be satisfi ed before any one member of the family can begin receiving benefi ts. The entire OOP must be satisfi ed before the family has satisfi ed the OOP maximum. Embedded Accumulation: Each member has an individual deductible/OOP amount. Any deductible amount contributed by an individual family member will apply to the family deductible amount, but no individual family member is required to contribute more to the family deductible than their individual deductible amount. The OOP accumulates on an embedded basis also.

Plans with more coverage choices

When we created the Dental Prime and Dental

Complete plans, we made sure they could be custom

fi t. That means lots of choices in coverage, including

options for:

Dental implants.

Composite (tooth-colored) fi llings on any tooth, not

just the front teeth.

Orthodontic benefi ts for kids and adults, or kids only.

Annual maximum carryover, which lets members

carry over some unused benefi ts to the next year.

To allow you to control costs without reducing

benefi ts, we offer a choice between our larger

Dental Complete network and our deeper discounted

Dental Prime network.

Value, Classic and Enhanced dental plans

For groups of 2-100, we offer a choice of dental

plans that fall into our Value, Classic and Enhanced

levels. So you can choose the level that fi ts your

needs and budget:

Value dental plans cover the basics like cleanings,

exams, X-rays and fi llings.

Classic dental plans cover basic dental services,

as well as most major services, all with high

annual maximums.

Enhanced dental plans have the most coverage, with

choices for even higher annual maximums and lower

coinsurance for members.

Pediatric dental EHB benefi ts are included with your

health plan. You can also add adult dental coverage or

supplement the pediatric dental EHB to a higher level

of coverage by purchasing one of our standalone

Dental Prime and Dental Complete plans. See the grid

that follows for more information.

Important information

The state of Georgia now requires insurers to cover certain

expenses related to the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder

(ASD). These changes take effect July 1, 2015, for new groups

and upon renewal, on or after July 1, 2015, for existing groups.

June 26, 2105, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples

have a constitutional right to marry in all states. It also requires

states to recognize same-sex marriages that were validly

performed in other states. BCBSGa will allow insured and

self-insured plans in any state to enroll same-sex spouses.
