Members who were enrolled in the Medical Mutual Tradional plan in 2004 may switch to the Blue Access PPO plan with the assurance that they may switch back a Medical Mutual Traditional plan should the Board change insurance carriers to Medical Mutual in the future. Although there is no guarantee all doctors will be in both networks, most members will experience an increase in the number of providers available in network.  Finally no two plans from competitors are equal but the advantages of the Anthem plan generally provide increased coverage and services.
