Use your POWER Account
With HIP, you have a special savings account called a Personal
Wellness and Responsibility Account, or POWER Account for short.
It gives you $2,500 to pay for certain health care costs. Here’s another benefit:

Use your POWER Account to get the health care you need. After $2,500 is used in your POWER
Account, Anthem will begin paying for your care.
Preventive care could help save you money.

If you’re a HIP Plus member, you must make a monthly payment or POWER Account
contribution. Keep your HIP Plus benefits by following these steps:
1. Pay your POWER Account contribution every month.
2. Make sure your contribution is not late. See your member handbook for the many ways you can
make your contribution.
If you get certain types of preventive care and there’s money left in your
POWER Account at the end of your benefit year, HIP Plus members may pay
less. HIP Basic members who choose to move to HIP Plus can pay less and
get more benefits, too. See your member handbook or call Member
Services at 1-866-408-6131.
 Remember these five things
to get the most from your health care!
If you have any questions or concerns, call us at 1-866-408-6131
(TTY 711) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time.
Or visit us at www.anthem.com/inmedicaid.

Get preventive care

Good health starts with preventive care.
This is the care you get when you go to your PMP before you get sick.
You should see your PMP at least once a year for a wellness checkup. This checkup gives your
PMP the chance to get to know your health care needs. You should also see your PMP for shots
and exams, like mammograms for women or prostate cancer screenings for men. We’ll send you
reminders about your wellness checkups and exams so you don’t miss them.
