Rest assured, the new name will not impact your coverage. You can still access your same benefits. While we make this transition you may still see references to UniCare. To learn more, go to wellpoint.com/welcome-wv-medicaid.

Also be aware of scams and fraud during Medicaid and WVCHIP renewals. There are no fees to complete a Medicaid or WVCHIP renewal. If we reach out to you about renewing your health plan, we will never ask for money.
