• No impact or changes to enrollees’ health plan benefits, services or care provider network as a result of the new name.
• New name reflects the company’s continued evolution to support whole health.
• Wellpoint is focused on improving the health of individuals and communities at all points in life.

Amerigroup DC, a subsidiary of Elevance Health that serves DC Healthy Families (Medicaid and CHIP), DC Healthcare Alliance, and DC’s Immigrant Children’s Programs, will be renamed Wellpoint DC (Wellpoint) on July 1, 2025, to reflect the company’s ongoing evolution in supporting whole health.

There will be no impact or changes to enrollees’ healthcare benefits. Enrollees will continue to have access to their current primary care providers, specialists, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. Also, healthcare providers who serve Wellpoint enrollees will have continued access to tools and resources to help streamline day-to-day administrative tasks.

“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 whole health more accessible,” said Adrian Jordan, Amerigroup DC plan president. “Our local presence enables us to tailor our benefits and programs to fit the unique needs of our community. Wellpoint is a name that illustrates our dedication to being a lifelong, trusted health partner with a mission to help people live well across all life points.”

Wellpoint’s suite of health benefits is designed for Washington D.C. consumers at any stage of life – offering access to simple, supportive health solutions to help foster whole person health, including primary care, behavioral healthcare, pharmacy and prescription drugs, and dental care. In addition, Wellpoint is committed to helping individuals improve their health through Healthy Rewards incentives for wellness visits and added benefits such as allowances to purchase over-the-counter supplies, GED assistance, asthma and COPD toolkits, feminine care, baby essentials, and gym memberships.

New ID cards featuring the Wellpoint brand are being mailed to enrollees and should arrive in the coming weeks. Enrollees can continue using their current Amerigroup DC cards to access all existing services until new Wellpoint branded cards are received. Washington D.C. enrollees with questions can contact Enrollee Services using the phone number on their current ID card, or by calling 833-359-1384 (TTY 711), Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EDT.
