A large health insurer is realigning its operations.
WellPoint Inc., Indianapolis, will be putting some of its business in a commercial and consumer business unit, and the rest in a specialty, senior and state-sponsored business unit.
The company, formed through a merger of Anthem Inc., Indianapolis, with the old WellPoint Health Networks Inc., Thousand Oaks., Calif., has been putting its operations in a health care unit, a specialty unit, and an “other” unit.
John Watts Jr., president of national accounts at WellPoint, will be president of the commercial and consumer business unit, which will include the UniCare and HealthLink brands, WellPoint says.
