Anthem And WellPoint's History

Anthem was founded as a Blue Cross Blue Shield member in 1944. And they're one of many independent companies in the BCBS Association. The first BCBS company emerged in 1934 after Justin Ford Kimball started a small insurance company providing 21 days of hospital care for $6 per year.

Through the mid-1990s more BCBS companies began sprouting up, eventually reaching every state in the U.S.

Anthem had been operating on its own for over 60 years when it merged with WellPoint Health Networks in 2005. WellPoint was created in 1986 as the manager of healthcare operations for the non-profit Blue Cross of California.

WellPoint later became an independent company and acquired Anthem — forming WellPoint Incorporated

Now the two companies are known as WellPoint Inc., and are headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.
