Tier 2 Participating Providers - Nationwide Coverage
You have access to participating providers nationwide. What this means to you is that you are able to access a larger network of contracted physicians and hospitals within the state of California and across the United States (with the exception of vision and dental providers) and have benefits calculated at a negotiated contract rate.

You may look up participating providers throughout the U.S. at the Anthem website at www.anthem.com/ca. You can also call Anthem Blue Cross for assistance at (800) 810-2583, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When making an appointment with any participating provider, you must verify with their office that the provider continues to participate either in Prudent Buyer (for California providers) or BlueCard program (all other U.S. participating providers). Otherwise, benefits will be calculated at the non-contracted Network level if they no longer participate.

Network Referral to Non-Network Provider
If your Network Physician refers you to another physician or health care provider, it is your responsibility to verify that the physician or other provider is also a Network provider. If the physician or other provider is not a Network provider, benefits will be paid at the out-of-Network rate.

CVS Caremark
Pharmacy benefits for the USC Network Medical Plan are managed by CVS Caremark.
