Hampden-Sydney College is committed to providing a comprehensive health care plan with a complex web of doctors, physicians, and facilities to choose from. Anthem KeyCare coverage is just that. (Anthem is affiliated with Blue Cross/Blue Shield)

Most hospitals in Virginia accept KeyCare rates. Pre-Admission review is required for admission to a hospital (excluding out-patient services). If you are admitted in an emergency situation, pre-admission review must be done within 48 hours or the next business day.

If you travel outside the state, the KeyCare network of doctors and facilities does not apply. However, you should locate doctors and facilities that participate with Blue Cross Blue Shield in the state you are visiting. If you have a life-threatening emergency either in state or out of state, you will not be penalized for seeking services from a non-KeyCare or non-participating doctor or facility.

PREVENTIVE CARE
Anthem covers 100% of checkups, routine physicals, including office visits, lab work, immunizations, mammograms, pap tests, gynecological exams, PSA, colorectal cancer screenings, and certain blood and urine screenings and labwork. Note: Refer to Anthem's preventive care list to see what tests are covered. These tests are not considered routine if the procedure is performed due to a medical condition or diagnosis. If, in the course of a routine screening procedure, an abnormality or problem is identified that requires immediate intervention, the service may be converted from routine or diagnostic.

 

WELL BABY CARE
Anthem's Well Baby Care covers children from birth through age 6.

In addition expectant mothers may enroll in the Future Moms Program by contacting the Benefits Manager or Anthem directly.
