re informed consumers of health care."

This year's Innovation Event will be focused on engagement, specifically those solutions that improve consumer and provider engagement. Solutions that address ways to control costs through more informed consumers and health care providers, while maintaining quality care, will be given the highest consideration.

"Last year, our goal was to identify at least one organization as a potential partner for an in-market pilot program," Pomeroy said. "The results exceeded our expectations as several attractive opportunities were identified. We continue to explore potential partnerships with these companies and recently signed a letter of agreement with one of them, MedVantx, a pharmaceutical delivery company. We look forward to deploying their unique business model initially in our Kentucky and Ohio markets."

Those companies interested in participating need to complete and submit an application. All applications will be screened and the top submissions will receive an invitation to attend the Innovation Event in March 2009. Companies selected to participate will be notified beginning in late January.

To request an application, please send an e-mail to innovation@WellPoint.com with a subject header of "Application Request - 2009 Innovation Event," and include company name, point of contact, address and phone number.
