Philadelphia —
Today, 70 years later, IBC and its affiliates insure nearly 3.4 million members nationwide, and employ 8,300 people throughout the region. The company offers dozens of different health insurance plans, a complete range of wellness programs and initiatives to save customers money, according to IBC.
“At Independence Blue Cross, there is an overwhelming passion for excellence and innovation to improve the health of its members and strengthen the well-being of our community," says M. Walter D'Alessio, chair of IBC's board. "IBC's impact grew enormously under Fred DiBona, who led the company through the early 1990s managed care revolution and strengthened IBC's commitment to serving its customers and community. That commitment moved to an even higher level under current president and CEO Joe Frick, who is leading the company as the country faces a possible second revolution in health care. After 70 years, the company's success continues to be driven by its dedication to responding swiftly to meet the needs of customers, members, physician and hospital partners, and associates."
