Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) has a diverse network of exceptional healthcare professionals who help ensure our members have uninterrupted access to the healthcare they need.
If you are not currently contracted with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield for Ohio Medicaid, you’ll need to contract with us.

You can contact Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield via phone or email using the information on our contact us page.
