To blind members of Anthem and Blue Cross, Blue Shield companies owned by
WellPoint:<br>
<br>
This message provides information about WellPoint's accessibility
initiative for its blind members. WellPoint is a national company
that owns Anthem, Blue Cross and Blue Shield operations across the United
States. You can find out if your state is covered in this post:
<a href="http://lflegal.com/2014/07/wellpoint-blue/">
http://lflegal.com/2014/07/wellpoint-blue/</a>. <br>
<br>
All WellPoint companies are now providing insurance information in
alternative formats, including braille, large print, audio and electronic
formats. They've also designed their websites and mobile
applications to be accessible. WellPoint worked with blind Blue Cross
members in Structured Negotiations on this initiative, and we encourage
people who are blind or have low vision to take advantage of this new
program. <br>
<br>
We also need feedback to help make the program as strong as it can be and
generally make sure it is working as it is supposed to. The best
way to give feedback is to email me at
<a href="mailto:LF@LFLegal.com">LF@LFLegal.com</a>. People without
email access can leave a message at 510.548.5062. <br>
<br>
Alternative formats can be requested by calling the number on the back of
your health insurance card, or any other number you use to reach a
WellPoint company. <br>
<br>
WellPoint is now the industry leader in providing insurance information
in alternative formats. Please help us spread the word, and please
let us know of your experiences with the new program. <br>
<br>
Thanks, Lainey <br>

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.<br>
