When services are received from a non-participating Anthem Blue Shield physician, benefits will be reduced by 20%.  The member may be responsible for filing claims and paying balance bills in addition to the deductible and coinsurance.

Benefits are based on our maximum allowance for covered services.  Maximum allowance is the maximum amount we will pay for a particular service.  Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield network health care providers and professionals have agreed to accept our maximum allowance as payment in full and cannot balance bill for excess charges.

The following are examples of services NOT covered by CompCare: temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), cosmetic surgery & vision therapy.
