The largest health insurer in the US, it is a Blue Cross or BCBS licensee in 14 states and provides plans under the Unicare name in other parts of the country. WellPoint offers a broad range of managed care plans (including PPO, HMO, indemnity, and hybrid plans) to employers, individuals, and Medicare and Medicaid recipients.
