Welcome Texas providers!

Attention care providers!

Amerigroup in Texas is now Wellpoint. Our new name fits with our brand vision to be a source of lasting wellness for our members — your patients — at all points in their health journey. There is no action needed by our care providers. There will be no changes to your agreements or contract, reimbursement, or level of support — now or in the future — because of our new name. For members, our new name will not cause any change to coverage or access to care.

For more information, please refer to these Frequently Asked Questions or go to https://www.provider.wellpoint.com/ . You can also contact your provider relationship management representative.
