Our Anthem HMO Site Of Service Plan (SOS) is designed to offer predictable costs, low out-of-pocket expenses, and comprehensive in-network coverage for your healthcare needs. These plans are ideal for those who prefer copays over deductibles and want consistent access to a wide network of providers.
For non-preventive care, members pay set copays for services such as office visits, specialist care, and prescriptions. There are no deductibles for most services, making it easier to budget for your healthcare throughout the year.
