Anthem MEWA Groups Will Receive Premium-Equivalent Credits

As a response to the challenges presented by COVID-19, Anthem will provide premium-equivalent credits the MEWA benefit plan sponsor groups based on April 2020 medical invoices. If groups also have dental Fully Insured coverage with Anthem, they will receive a premium credit on that as well.

The groups will either see the credit on their August 2020 invoice (issued in July 2020) or receive a check for:

• 10% of the April premium-equivalent for medical plans
• 50% of the April premium bill for dental plans (if applicable)

Anthem is working to avoid negative impact to broker commissions.

MEWA sponsors issuing the credits include:

• Southern Ohio Chamber Alliance (SOCA) Benefit Plan
• Missouri Chamber Benefit Plan
• Georgia Chamber SMART Plans and Georgia FARM Plans
• ChamberAdvantage (Kentucky)
• ChamberCare Health Alliance (Indiana)
