What this plan is

This is a special needs plan built for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. Plans like this are called dual eligible special needs plans, or D-SNPs. It is an HMO plan sold in California, so care stays inside the plan's network and you choose a main doctor. It includes prescription drug coverage. With 8 counties, it is the widest dual eligible plan sold under the Anthem Blue Cross name in Medicare's file, and it is the first plan page built for this company in this section. Medicaid can help with some of the costs Medicare leaves behind, and the state runs that side of the help.

The same plan name can appear under other contracts in other areas, and those versions are different plans with their own costs. The numbers on this page belong to this contract only. See the [Anthem Blue Cross company page](/medicare-advantage/anthem-blue-cross/) for its full list of plans, or [all companies compared](/medicare-advantage/) for the whole field.

Medicare rates this plan's contract 3.0 out of 5 stars overall for 2027.

What it costs

• Monthly premium, medical and drug parts combined: $0. You still pay your Part B premium each month, just as you would with any Medicare Advantage plan, unless Medicaid helps with it in your case.
• Yearly limit on in-network care: $9,850. Once your copays and coinsurance for Part A and Part B care reach this amount in a year, you pay nothing more for covered in-network care that year.
• Drug deductible for the year: $105.

The premium is not the whole cost, because copays for visits and hospital stays still add up across the year. The yearly limit above is the cap on the medical side of that cost.

Where it is sold

This plan is sold in 8 counties, and the full list is in this page's data record. A plan with the same name under a different contract is a different plan with its own costs, even when the company name on the card looks the same.

Before you join

Before you join, check that your doctors are in the network and that your drugs are on the plan's drug list. Care and Living Guide does not sell or enroll anyone in a plan, so to sign up or check your own case, use Medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or talk with a licensed insurance agent.

More detail about this plan

The full cost picture: the premium above adds up to $0 over a full year, before any copays. Copays for visits, hospital stays, and drugs sit on top of that, and the yearly limit above caps what you pay for covered in-network medical care. It does not cap drug costs or the premium itself.

Extra benefits: Medicare's Landscape file does not list this plan's dental, vision, hearing, fitness, over-the-counter, or transportation amounts. Those amounts live in the plan's Summary of Benefits and Evidence of Coverage, which Medicare.gov links from this plan's page. This page leaves the amounts blank until the CMS Plan Benefits Package files are loaded, rather than copying numbers from ads.

Drugs: this plan has its own drug list, called a formulary. A drug can sit on a different cost tier from one plan to the next, so check each drug you take on Medicare.gov's Plan Finder or in the plan's formulary before you join.

Service area, county by county: CA: Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Tulare.
