Prescription Drug Plan Costs & Benefits
Anthem Select includes an enhanced benefit Medicare Part D plan (PDP). Enhanced plans have a higher actuarial value than basic plans. Actuarial value simply refers to the percentage of cost that's covered by the plan.
Prescription Drug Plan Premium
Although the prescription drug plan (Part D) premium is bundled with the total plan cost, some plans have supplemental costs and/or offer low-income subsidy (LIS) assistance. LIS, also known as Extra Help, is a Social Security program that helps people with limited income and resources lower or cut Part D costs.
The following table outlines the prescription drug plan premium details of this plan.
Basic Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
Supplemental Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
Total Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
Part D Premium with Full LIS Assistance: | $0.00 |
If you would like more information about the Extra Help program, you can refer to the Social Security Extra Help page.
Prescription Drug Plan Deductible
The Medicare Part D annual deductible with this plan is $0.00. This is the amount you must pay at the pharmacy before Anthem Blue Cross begins paying its share.
Prescription Drug Plan Out-of-Pocket Costs
In addition to the plan's monthly premium and deductible, Anthem Select has out-of-pocket costs that you must pay when you pick up your prescriptions.
Drug Tier | Preferred | Standard |

Most Medicare Advantage HMO plans get average marks, including this one. Anthem Select does an average job keeping its members healthy through preventive health measures, including screenings, tests, and vaccines. When it comes to helping members manage their chronic health conditions, this plan does an average job.
Sadly, the overall member experience with this Anthem Blue Cross HMO plan is poor. As compared to other plans, complaints and changes in the plan's performance receives a poor rating. If you're concerned about how this health plan will treat you when you call for assistance, don't be. Members say it's good.
Beneficiaries searching for top value will find dental, vision, and hearing benefits available with this Medicare Advantage plan (limitations apply).
No additional monthly premium with this plan is a potential savings opportunity for healthy individuals. We love it when we see a plan with a maximum out-of-pocket (MOOP) limit less than $3,000, and this plan brings it in at $1,800 per year. The MOOP does not include prescriptions, but the good news is that a 5-day stay in the hospital with Anthem Select will probably cost less than Original Medicare. This health plan does not have an annual deductible, making health care a little easier to budget.
