Anthem Blue Cross becomes latest CT insurer to offer virtual primary care
New England Council member Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield has announced that its virtual primary care service is now available to some of its more than 1 million members in Connecticut.
Anthem, which is the market share leader in the state, joins numerous other Connecticut insurers in rolling out virtual primary care services since 2020. Anthem said eligible commercial members will have access to virtual primary care through the digital health app Sydney Health. The app provides access to routine services including new prescriptions and refills, preventive tests, lab work, and referrals to in-network, in-person primary and specialty care when needed.
“This virtual primary care offering is the latest example of our ongoing efforts to redefine the future of healthcare with innovative solutions — giving members more ways to connect with doctors; integrating digital, virtual, and in-person care,” said Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut President Lou Gianquinto.
