• Yes. Anthem Blue Cross sent letters to all contracted participating providers in Fresno County notifying them of the change in business model. If you are a PCP, you must choose one of the IPAs offered and sign a contract with them. If you do not contract with one of the IPAs offered, you could be at risk of losing your Blue Cross Medi-Cal members. If you are a specialist or ancillary service provider, you may choose to contract with any or all of the IPAs offered.
