2008 Summary Annual Report

Touch Points of Innovation

Among our newest innovations is Anthem Care ComparisonSM, an online tool that lets members see how their choice of hospitals for a specific procedure may impact their costs. In collaboration with Zagat® Survey, we introduced another tool allowing consumers to review their patient-doctor experiences using Zagat’s trusted methodology. And in 2008, WellPoint and the WellPoint Foundation launched a collaboration with the X PRIZE Foundation to develop a $10 million competition for revolutionary new solutions to our nation’s most pressing health care challenges.
