By now, you should have your new Anthem ID Card from Northwestern Ohio Administrators (NOA) who replaced American Benefits Corporation (ABC), effective March 1, 2025.
As a reminder, the network for medical and vision is still with Anthem, and your Rx will remain with Costco and OptiMed for Specialty Rx, however the Claims Administrator processing your medical and vision claims changed. Northwestern Ohio Administrators (NOA) replaced American Benefits Corporation (ABC), effective March 1, 2025. Your Member ID on your new card begins with “Q4M” and end with “NO”. Your new Anthem ID card is also updated to include the new Deductibles and OOP limits that went into effect on January 1, 2025, and will have an issue date of 2/14/25 in the lower left-hand corner of the back of the card. It is important to use this new card beginning March 1, 2025, as your previous card is no longer valid.

NOA will also be issuing a new HRA Benny card to you. Unfortunately, there has been a delay by WEX in processing the new HRA card. It should be mailed soon.
