History
Anthem Inc. was a health insurance company that was founded in the United States in 1944. The company was originally known as Blue Cross of Indiana and was created as a nonprofit organization by a group of hospital and physician leaders in Indianapolis.
The original purpose of the Blue Cross of Indiana was to provide affordable health insurance coverage to residents of Indiana, who were struggling to pay for medical care during World War II. The company's name was later changed to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana when it merged with Blue Shield of California in 1985.
In the 1960s, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana began to offer new health insurance products to its customers, such as group health plans and Medicare supplement plans. The company also expanded its network of healthcare providers, working with hospitals and physicians across the country to offer more comprehensive coverage to its members.
During the 1970s, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana faced several challenges, including rising healthcare costs and increased competition from other health insurance companies. To address these challenges, the company began to focus on cost containment and efficiency, introducing new programs to help members manage their healthcare costs.
One of the key initiatives introduced by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana during this time was the development of health maintenance organizations (HMOs). HMOs were a new type of health insurance plan that offered a more comprehensive approach to healthcare, including preventive care and wellness programs. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana was one of the first health insurance companies to offer HMO plans to its customers.
In 1993, the company changed its name again to WellPoint Health Networks Inc. after merging with WellPoint Systems Inc. The merger brought together Blue Cross Blue Shield plans from several states, including Indiana, California, Ohio, and Kentucky, and created one of the largest health insurance companies in the country.
WellPoint also continued to innovate and expand its services during the 1990s, introducing new programs and technologies to help customers manage their healthcare costs and improve their overall health. One of the key initiatives introduced by WellPoint during this time was the development of disease management programs, which helped members with chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease to manage their conditions more effectively and reduce their healthcare costs.
WellPoint Health Networks Inc. continued to grow through acquisitions and mergers, acquiring several other health insurance companies, such as Amerigroup, CareMore, and HealthSun, among others. In 2014, the company officially changed its name to Anthem Inc., a name that better reflected its primary brand and market position. Today, Anthem Inc. is one of the largest health insurance companies in the United States, providing health insurance coverage to more than 106 million people across the country. The company offers a range of health insurance products, including individual and group plans, Medicare, and Medicaid plans, as well as dental, vision, and life insurance.
