*While Anthem makes every effort to ensure that the lists of doctors and hospitals are up to date and accurate, providers like Enloe do leave the network from time to time, and the listings need to be changed. Updating the provider lists are done as quickly as possible but there can be a time when a provider shows up that should no longer be listed. If there are any questions about a provider being in the Anthem network, calling the provider directly and having their office confirm the current most up to date status would be the most effective course of action.
