Amerigroup Iowa Health Plan to be renamed Wellpoint in January
Amerigroup Iowa, a subsidiary of Elevance Health serving Medicaid enrollees, recently released a press release indicating that it will begin rebranding as Wellpoint in January 2024 to reflect the company’s evolution to support whole health.
There will be no impact or changes to current Amerigroup members’ health care benefits or coverage. Members will continue to have access to their established primary care providers, specialists, hospitals and other health care facilities. There will be no changes to Amerigroup Iowa’s agreements or levels of support with their health care providers – now or in the future – because of this name change. Providers who serve current Amerigroup members will also have continued access to tools and resources to help streamline day-to-day administrative tasks.
New ID cards with the Wellpoint brand will be mailed in early 2024. Members can continue using their current card to access all existing services until their new card arrives. Iowa members who have questions can contact the Member Services via the phone number on the back of their ID card.
