Welcome to Wellpoint. We’re happy you’re here.
As a new member, you probably have questions, and we want you to get the most out of your benefits.
1. Look for your member ID card
You should have received your Wellpoint member ID card in the mail. You will use it to go to the doctor and in case of an emergency. If it has been more than two weeks since you enrolled and you did not get your member ID card, call us at 833-707-0867 (TTY 711).
2. Create your online account
To access the secure member area of our website, you will need to create your account.
This will allow you to:
- View and share your member ID card.
- Change your primary care provider (PCP).
- Manage your prescriptions.
- Chat with us or send us a secure message.
It is quick and easy to create your account! You just need your member ID number (shown on your ID card).
3. Make an appointment with your PCP
Your main doctor is called a primary care provider, or PCP. Your PCP is listed on your member ID card and in your online account. Call to make an appointment with your PCP as soon as you can. All new Wellpoint members should see their PCP within 90 days of joining. Getting a checkup now will help your PCP learn about your medical history before any health issues occur.
We can help you make your appointment
We are here for you!
- Be on time for appointments and notify providers as soon as possible if you need to cancel an appointment.
- To cancel an appointment with your PCP or another provider, call the provider’s office as soon as you know you cannot make the appointment. Canceling appointments allows for providers to see other patients. Reschedule the appointment as soon as you can to stay up to date with your healthcare needs.
Call Member Services at 833-707-0867 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time, Monday through Friday.
