How to change your name with Anthem

Married or divorced and updating your accounts? Here's how Anthem takes a name change, from its own help page.

HowThrough HR or by phone

By mailNo: in person or by phone

In person or by phone only. Anthem is one of the few that won't change your name online. Bring your documents when you go.

Anthem's steps

Plan through work: send the name change through your employer's benefits team. Other plans: call Member Services at the number on the back of your ID card.

Open Anthem's page

Have these ready

A copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order (most companies ask for one).
Your updated driver's license or ID, if you have it. Social Security comes first, then the DMV.
Your account number, and the name the account is in now.
