Wellpoint is the name Elevance Health gave its Amerigroup plans effective January 1, 2024, reviving the corporate brand it used before the Anthem era and applying it in states where it does not sell Blue Cross Blue Shield products. Coverage centers on government programs: Medicaid managed care, Medicare Advantage HMO plans, and Special Needs Plans for dual-eligible, chronic-condition and institutional members, with commercial plans in select markets. Arizona, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas and Washington were the first states to carry the name. Members kept their benefits, networks and doctors through the change, so if you were with Amerigroup, nothing about your coverage moved.
