This program is for Anthem members with pre-diabetes — a condition that occurs when a person has blood glucose (sugar) levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Many people with pre-diabetes will develop diabetes unless they take the right steps.
The Anthem Diabetes Prevention Program is conducted in person, online, or a combination of both. It lasts for 12 months, with 16 sessions during the first six months and then at least one session monthly for the next six months. If you choose the in-person option, a trained lifestyle coach meets with you at a location of their choosing.
To be eligible for this program, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 22 if Asian, or at least 24 if not Asian
- Have a blood test result in the pre-diabetes range within the last year, or have been previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes
- Have no previous diagnosis of diabetes
With Special Offers, you can take advantage of discounts on products and services that help promote better health and well-being. For example, you can save on weight loss programs, vitamins, glasses, contact lenses, and more.
To find the discounts that are available to you, log in to your Anthem account, then select Care, then Discounts.

It’s convenient and lets you receive the care you need when it fits your schedule. LiveHealth Online visits are part of your Anthem health plan, and the cost depends on your benefits, copay, and percentage of the cost. Before you start a visit, you’ll see what it will cost. Use LiveHealth Online to receive care for conditions such as pink eye, sinus infections, sore throats, coughs, and colds. Doctors can assess your condition and send prescriptions to the pharmacy you select, if needed.
If you’re stressed, anxious, or having a tough time, you can also use LiveHealth Online to talk with a licensed therapist. In most cases, you can make an appointment and see a therapist in seven days or less. Weekend and evening appointments are available — just choose the therapist you’d like to see to make your appointment online or call (888) 548-3432. The cost for a LiveHealth Online Psychology visit may be the same as what you’d pay for an office therapy visit, depending on your benefits, copay, and percentage of the cost.
