Moody's: WellPoint debt Baa1

Moody's Investors Service said it assigned a Baa1 senior unsecured debt rating to WellPoint, Inc.'s planned issuance of new long-term debt.

The outlook is stable.

Moody's said the Baa1 senior unsecured debt rating for WellPoint and A1 insurance financial strength ratings of Anthem Insurance Cos., Inc. and the five other rated health insurance operating subsidiaries are based on the company's strong business profile driven by its national presence, the Blue Cross and Blue Shield brand name and its leading market position in most of the states in which it operates.
