Medical plan information: Under 65
Paying your premiums for health and other benefits
An important note for eligible retirees under age 65 who use our health benefits.
- Starting September 1, the Alliant Energy Benefits Portal will be the new way for you to access your health plan information and pay your premiums.
- (Important note: Now through August 31, our current portal, BenefitsNow, is in read-only mode during the transition. That means you will not be able to pay your premiums online until the new portal is live on September 1. If you mail your premium payments, please do not send them to BenefitsNow or to Alliant Energy. There will be a new mailing address for you to use starting September 1.)

COVID-19: Health resources for retirees on our health plan
If you are a retiree who is under 65 and on our health plan, we’ve provided resources you can use anytime.
Free testing for coronavirus (COVID-19):
We’ve worked with our providers so that testing for COVID-19 is covered as a preventive procedure at no cost to anyone covered by the Alliant Energy health plan.
If there is a cost associated with the test, you or any member of your family covered under the plan can show your Anthem card. The provider will submit the claim to Anthem and the testing will be covered at 100%.
LiveHealth Online
This telemedicine program allows you to visit a doctor face-to-face without ever leaving your home.
You meet the doctor online on your laptop, tablet or smart phone.
This lessens the potential of being exposed to colds, flu and COVID-19, that might be lingering in a waiting room.
It also provides access to therapists, psychiatrists and psychologists if you are experiencing behavioral health-related issues.
There are fees for these services. Go to livehealthonline.com to get started.
