Anthem Insurance or Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the largest insurance providers in the United States. It also has one of the clearest and most upfront rate schemes per insurance plan and metal level, meaning it’s extremely easy to figure out what your rates will be. Anthem currently serves over 78 million people across its many health plans. However, Anthem is a part of a larger group, belonging to Elevance Health. It’s also the primary Blue Cross Blue Shield supplier in multiple states in the United States. However, you could be working with Anthem if you have Blue Cross Blue Sheild, Amerigroup, America’s 1st Choice, Aspire Health, CareMore, Freedom health, HealthLink, HealthSun, Optimum Healthcare, Simple Healthcare, IngenioRX, and Unicare.
This means you can go to mental health and substance abuse rehab at Compassion Recovery with full coverage from your Anthem or Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance provider. This includes employer-sponsored and private plans. If you’d like to learn more, contact us at 909-314-1097 or keep reading.
In each case, your actual coverage will depend on your plan and plan type. In addition, coverage typically ranges between 40 and 90% for in-network providers. However, if you go to an out of network with a PPO, you’ll typically pay 50% + deductible.
In every case, you’ll need your doctor to recommend you to treatment before Anthem will offer coverage. However, providing your doctor authorizes the treatment, you can get almost any kind of substance use disorder treatment covered by Anthem.
Again, your mental health will only be covered if you get a referral from your primary care provider. This means that any talk with Anthem should begin with a consultation at your doctor and a referral from your primary care provider.
Anthem offers full support for dual diagnosis programs. This means you can treat mental health and substance use disorders via a combined trajectory, with a treatment plan that incorporates both. That allows you to get a broader treatment plan that tackles mental health and substance use disorder symptoms where they might interfere with treatment, helping you to improve your total mental health rather than focusing on one issue at a time. That can dramatically improve the quality of your treatment. Like with other behavioral and mental health coverage, Anthem’s only requirement is that you be recommended to the program by your doctor.
Anthem Insurance uses a very straightforward rates. However, it has a large number of plans spread across a large number of subsidiaries. Therefore, your actual costs may vary depending on where you’re coming from and what specific plan you have. For example, Anthem has over 20 plans under the Anthem brand alone.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
