Anthem Blue Cross Partnership Plan

Plan year 2027 · Source: CMS · Checked October 30, 2026

What this company offers

Anthem Blue Cross Partnership Plan filed 14 Medicare Advantage plans with Medicare for 2027. All of its plans are sold in California. Its parent company in Medicare's file is Elevance Health, Inc. The exact plans on offer change from one county to the next, so your county decides which of them are open to you.

This name is its own seller in Medicare's file. It is not the same page as Anthem Blue Cross, and it is not the same page as Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Each of those names sells its own plans under its own contracts, so check the name on your card before you use a plan page.

The company sells these kinds of plans:

• HMO-POS plans (14)

Its HMO-POS plans keep most care inside the network, with some care allowed outside it on the plan's terms.

Four of its 14 plans are special needs plans. All four are chronic-condition plans, made for people who have a long-term health condition the plan names. Medicare's file does not list which conditions count, so this page does not name any. Every one of its plans includes prescription drug coverage.

What its plans cost

All 14 of its plans charge no monthly premium at all, although you still pay your Part B premium each month, just as you would with any Medicare Advantage plan. Plan premiums across the company run from $0 to $0 a month. That range comes from all 14 plans, and every plan carries a combined premium in the file.

A $0 premium does not mean $0 care. Each plan has its own copays. Each plan also has its own yearly limit on what you pay out of pocket for covered care. Those numbers change from plan to plan. The plan pages in this section show the exact numbers for each plan, straight from Medicare's own files.

Star ratings

Medicare rates each contract from 1 to 5 stars, and this company's contracts carry 3.0 stars for 2027. The rating belongs to the contract and not to the brand as a whole, so check the star rating on the plan page and not just the company name.

How to shop this company

Start with your county, because Medicare Advantage plans are sold by county. Then check three things before you decide: your doctors are in the plan's network, your drugs are on the plan's drug list, and the yearly cost limit fits your budget.

Some care needs approval before the plan will pay for it, so read how approval for home health works in a Medicare Advantage plan before you count on care at home. If you ever need hospice care, Medicare covers hospice under Part A in every plan — see what Medicare hospice covers, in the hospice guide.

This page is a guide, not a sales tool, and Care and Living Guide does not sell or enroll anyone in a plan. When you are ready to sign up, use Medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or talk with a licensed insurance agent.

More detail about this company

Anthem Blue Cross Partnership Plan sells Medicare Advantage plans under its parent, Elevance Health, Inc., and Medicare's 2027 file lists 14 of its plans sold in California. 14 of those plans include prescription drug coverage, and 4 are special needs plans. Medicare's file does not give the year this company first sold Medicare plans, so this page states no start year rather than guessing one.

For help with a plan from this company, start with Medicare.gov: its Plan Finder lists this company's plans for your ZIP code, and each plan's page there links to the plan's own Summary of Benefits and to the company's official Medicare pages, which carry its member phone number and hours. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE at any hour. This page does not copy a phone number from an ad or a sales page.

Who this company may fit: many of its plans charge no monthly premium, so it may fit people who watch the monthly cost first; it sells special needs plans, so it may fit people who qualify for one of those plans; it sells only in California, so it fits only people who live there.

You can join most Medicare Advantage plans for 2027 during the yearly enrollment period, October 15 to December 7, 2026. If you already have a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch plans or go back to Original Medicare from January 1 to March 31. A move or another big life change can open a special window of its own. To join, use Medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or talk with a licensed insurance agent. Care and Living Guide does not sell or enroll anyone in a plan.
