If you are covered by one of the State of Indiana’s medical plans, please choose a primary care physician (PCP) in the Anthem network (either Tier 1 HealthSync or Tier 2 In-Network). If you do not choose a PCP, Anthem will automatically pair you with one in your area.
Anthem requires that you have a PCP because those who have a relationship with a PCP are:
- More likely to seek preventive care—identifying problems before they grow into something more difficult and costly to treat.
- Less likely to have preventable emergency room visits and hospital admissions.
- More likely to save on out-of-pocket costs for both primary and specialist care.
How to Designate a PCP
- Log into your account at anthem.com or via Anthem’s Sydney app. If you do not have an online account, you will need to create one before proceeding.
