Anthem Blue Cross is expanding BlueHPN, its high performance network, effective 2022.
The network will expand both in California and Wisconsin next year, including 24 and three counties in each state, respectively.
BlueHPN, a collaboration between Anthem and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, is a national-level network of select providers from Anthem's Prudent Buyer PPO network, according to the California Medical Association.
The move follows opt-in notices sent to providers, notifying them Oct. 29 that Anthem was including them in its Exclusive Provider Organization, which is based on BlueHPN.
