As part of the collaboration, Astrana will open and manage clinics providing care exclusively for Anthem Blue Cross and Allied Pacific IPA members, facilitating access for Anthem Blue Cross members and providing a delightful consumer experience, readily available walk-in visits, same-day telemedicine, and online appointment scheduling. In conjunction with the announcement of this partnership, Astrana and Anthem Blue Cross have opened their first collaborative care clinic located at 11236 Whittier Blvd in Whittier, California to serve residents of Whittier and the surrounding area. The new Astrana Care and Anthem Blue Cross facility, which will exclusively serve Anthem Blue Cross and Allied Pacific IPA members with an HMO health insurance plan, is equipped with medical technology and offers a wide range of services, with a focus on comprehensive health assessments, preventive care, and chronic disease management.

Designed with patient comfort and accessibility in mind, the inaugural collaborative clinic aims to provide exceptional care and a superior consumer experience.
