CAREERS

Consider if: You live outside Central Kentucky but don’t need care outside the state. 

This plan offers high-quality care for those who live outside Central Kentucky. Members who live in outlying counties can choose physicians from the Anthem network and benefit from the same coverage as the HMO plan.

That means no deductibles and no co-payments for preventive care. Members of the RHP plan incur slightly higher monthly premiums.
