Plans tailored for GIC members
Wellpoint is the only health plan that offers healthcare benefits exclusively to Massachusetts Group Insurance Commission (GIC) members. We are uniquely positioned to tailor our services to GIC members. And year after year, our members keep telling us: Wellpoint’s customer service is second to none.
What other Wellpoint members have told us
"I had such a lovely phone call [with Wellpoint] yesterday – I was put in such a better mood because of it!"
"The customer service representative was an excellent listener — extremely attentive to my needs. I actually told her exactly that. She clearly is very skilled and loves helping people. Superb."
"Not only did I have my questions answered, but the representative took the time to explain everything until I felt comfortable. She was patient, knowledgeable and stayed on the phone with me until I understood my coverage. A true professional! She gets A+!!"
"Wellpoint customer service never disappoints."

Introducing the four Wellpoint plans
What makes Wellpoint plans different
Unparalleled customer service
Our member satisfaction rates consistently top 90%, and our members regularly renew year after year.
No network
Wellpoint plans cover all doctors, facilities, and healthcare providers. Use the plan’s contracted providers for the highest benefits at the lowest out-of-pocket costs. The choice is always yours.
No referrals, no PCP requirement
Our plans don’t require you to choose a primary care provider (PCP) or to obtain referrals for specialty office visits.
Coverage beyond the Commonwealth
When you travel, Wellpoint’s travel network protects you from unexpected bills.
What are indemnity and PPO plans?
Indemnity plans let you use any medical provider without referrals and without any differences in coverage. Total Choice and Medicare Extension are both indemnity plans.
PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans also let you use any medical provider, but the coverage is higher when you use a preferred provider. PLUS and Community Choice are PPO-type plans.
