Indianapolis, Ind. - July 31, 2023 – Amerigroup, a subsidiary of Elevance Health serving Medicaid and Medicare enrollees, will begin rebranding as Wellpoint in January 2024, to reflect the company’s evolution to support whole health.

“This rebranding is a continuation of our bold and ambitious purpose to improve the health of humanity by serving people across their entire health journey; connecting them to care, support and resources; and simplifying healthcare to make health more equitable and accessible,” said Felicia Norwood, EVP and President, Government Health Benefits for Elevance Health. “Our local presence enables us to design our benefits and programs to fit the unique needs of each community we serve. Wellpoint is a name that illustrates our dedication to being a lifetime, trusted health partner with a mission to help people live well across all life points.”

Wellpoint’s suite of health benefits is designed for consumers at any stage of life offering access to simple, supportive health solutions to help foster whole person health, including services from in-home wellness visits and transportation to the deployment of mobile medical clinics in low-income and rural communities. In addition, Wellpoint plans are committed to helping individuals improve their health through Healthy Reward incentives for wellness visits and added benefits such as dental hygiene kits, supplies for new mothers, resources to support emotional wellbeing and spending allowances for seniors to purchase healthy groceries and pay for utilities.

Following regulatory approval, the new name will take effect in January 2024, in Arizona, Iowa, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.
