Iowa Providers

Welcome, providers!

Attention providers!

We are pleased to announce that beginning January 1, 2024, Amerigroup in Iowa will become Wellpoint. Our new name fits with our brand vision to be a source of lasting wellness for our members — your patients — at all points in their health journey.

There is no action needed by our care providers. There will be no changes to your agreements or contract, reimbursement, or level of support — now or in the future — because of our new name. For members, this evolution to Wellpoint will not cause any change to coverage or access to care. We look forward to continuing to provide our members with the strong medical coverage and healthcare assistance they expect and deserve.

Ensure our members are equipped to renew their Medicaid benefits

Help our members prepare to renew their Medicaid healthcare coverage and benefits by educating them on what documents are needed to ensure their renewal form is completed accurately. Members can submit their renewal form via web (preferred), phone, fax, mail, or in person.
