Anthem Blue Cross Addresses Furloughed Employees Amid COVID-19

Anthem Blue Cross updated their COVID-19 FAQ, which addresses relaxed eligibility requirements. For California Small and Large Group, Anthem will allow the same flexibility for new business as they do for existing business with one exception; furloughed employees must be on the prior carrier bill or DE9C to be eligible.  If not, they will be considered ineligible and will not be able to enroll for coverage.  

Please reach out to your LISI Regional Sales Representative to see where all carriers stand on enrolling furloughed and reduced-hour employees due to COVID-19.
