On November 30, 2004, Anthem, Inc. merged with WellPoint Health Networks, Incorporated. This combination has resulted in many changes, but none that affected the quality of care and programs offered by either insurance company. Families are perhaps the biggest beneficiaries of the WellPoint and Anthem convergence. The companies serve almost millions of Virginians, offering families plenty of options when it comes to keeping their loved ones healthy. Coverage plans vary in premium/deductible options, invariably including optional family programs. Plans currently offered to families include:
