Ohio has always been the epitome of the midwestern ideal--family, hard work and planning for the future take top consideration. Perhaps that is why Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield has developed into such a presence in the Buckeye state. Now, the Ohio branch of Anthem (along with nearby states Kentucky and Indiana) has garnered a national award from Harvard Medical School researchers for its Hospital Quality Program, implemented to make health care affordable. With the acquisition of Wellpoint Health Networks and their subsequent merger, Anthem is still changing the face of their insurance program, guaranteeing that their presence in Ohio won't go unnoticed.
Families are perhaps the biggest beneficiaries of the WellPoint and Anthem combination. BCBS of Ohio offers families plenty of options when it comes to keeping their loved ones healthy. Their coverage plans vary in deductible and premium costs, leaving no one out of the mix. Plans currently offered to families include:
Blue Access: Family deductibles range from $1,000-$10,000. The plan covers both catastrophic and preventive treatment, including doctors' visits and well-child immunizations. An optional maternity rider is available.

Blue Access Economy: Families have deductible options that range from $1,000 to $5,000. This plan is primarily used for hospital coverage or doctor's visits when ill, however well child visits are covered. This plan also comes with prescription coverage.
