Anthem Fax Number — Fax Claims and Prior Authorizations

Anthem, part of the Elevance Health family of Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, routes claims, prior authorizations, enrollment forms, and appeals to separate intake fax numbers that differ by plan and state. There's no universal Anthem fax line, so the correct number depends on your specific plan and what you're submitting, and it's printed on the relevant form or in your member materials. Providers sending prior authorizations or credentialing documents will usually find the fax number on Anthem's provider forms or on the determination letter they're responding to.

What You Can Fax to Anthem

  • Medical claims
  • Prior authorization requests

Use Send FAX Mail to send and keep the delivery confirmation, which serves as documentation that you met any filing or appeal deadline.
