Unicare, a subsidiary of WellPoint, is a national organization dedicated to delivering its customers and associates quality health care plans and products as well as providing managed care and specialty health care services throughout the United States. WellPoint itself is the largest health benefits company in the US based on membership and Unicare prides itself on providing a vast array of competitively priced products and services that meet the needs of a broad spectrum of the population. The benefits supplied by the company are designed to be easily tailored to customer’s specific needs and the focus of the company remains on the client maintaining control of their health and financial decisions.

In 1995, the majority of WellPoint businesses operating outside of California were branded under the name Unicare. A number of acquisitions brought in life insurance and group health insurance products, which brings Unicare to where it is today, offering a broad array of products and services to meet consumer needs. Unicare takes into account today’s economic landscape and offers employers the maximum amount of cost control while still offering value to employees. Extensive provider networks allow for choice and affordability. Unicare offers products ranging from very basic to extremely comprehensive in order to meet every need.

Unicare offers traditional managed care products as well as new hybrid plans taking advantage of traditional managed care and open access models. Plans are designed to encourage high needs consumers to choose intensively managed plans, while less needy members are encouraged to choose plans with greater freedom. This is designed to provide increased control of care and access in exchange for additional cost-maintenance measures. Additional specialty products are available including pharmacy, dental, life, disability, behavioral health, and flexible benefits account administration. Unicare feels confident that no matter the need, they have a product to suit it.
