A new combined application

For your Anthem for SOCA Benefit Plan submissions, you will use one combined application for your medical and any ancillary enrollments. This includes 3 Employee applications and the Employer Application.

The new application names are:

Anthem for SOCA EE Combined App W/Medical 2021 effective dates
Anthem for SOCA EE Combined App W/out Medical 2021 effective dates
Anthem for SOCA EE Combined Change Form 2021 effective dates
Anthem for SOCA ER Combined App W/Medical 2021 effective dates

One Carrier to submit your enrollments through FormFire

Long gone are the days of using separate Carriers to assign Anthem plans for the SOCA Benefit Plan.

Now, you'll use the Carrier Anthem for SOCA BP for all medical, dental, vision and life plans as well as all submissions. Make sure that you turn on all coverage lines on the Client Details page for your client to assign the appropriate plans.

One Submission for Medical and Ancillary

To make the open enrollment process easier, Brokers no longer need to submit separate enrollments to the Anthem for SOCA Benefit Plan based on specific coverage lines. Now, Brokers can submit 1 single submission for medical and all ancillary selections for a specific Client.
