Anthem will not be offering individual insurance thru the Marketplace in Ohio in 2018. If you are currently with Anthem you will need to find other coverage. If you do not make any changes, the Marketplace will move you to an insurance company of their choice.
We will review your providers, hospitals, and prescription networks, and find the plan that works best for you and your family.

What Your Small Business Can Learn From the 50 Most Engaged Brands
|
Amazon is the company that’s most engaged with customers, according to a recent report. And small businesses can potentially learn some important lessons from the retail giant and other big names that
focus on customer engagement.
Forbes Insights partnered with
Pega
to compile the
list
of the 50 most engaged companies, which also includes Google’s parent Alphabet Inc., Starbucks, Foot Locker, Alaska Air, FedEx, Southwest Airlines, Marriott, Lowe’s and Nordstrom.
Customer Engagement Examples
So what can companies like Amazon, Google and Starbucks teach smaller brands about customer engagement? Those companies don’t just market to their customers. They actively involve their customers in those efforts. They collect insights. They repost customer photos. They respond to inquiries on social media.
