Online and mobile options

Anthem's website offers a secure portal where policyholders can submit inquiries, view statements, and request changes without calling. After logging in, use the "Contact Us" widget to start a live chat (available 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET weekdays). The Anthem mobile app mirrors these features and sends push notifications when an agent replies.

Mailing address for written requests

For formal complaints, policy changes that require a signature, or documentation that cannot be sent electronically, mail to:

Anthem Life InsuranceCustomer Service DepartmentPO Box 12345New York, NY 10001

Include your policy number, a clear description of the request, and a return‑addressed envelope for a response.

International callers

If you are calling from outside the United States, dial +1‑800‑333‑1111 and follow the automated prompts for "International Support." Expect longer wait times, and consider using the online portal for faster service.

Being ready with the right information reduces call time:

  • Policy number (found on your card or statements)
