Demand for BCBS Tonik/ UniCare Sound plans increasing dramatically!

One of the great phenomenon's of the insurance world is the Tonik Health product originally developed by Blue Cross of California for the 18-29 market in that state. The plan design has spread to Nevada, and Colorado. In Illinois and Texas the plan is known as the Sound marketed by fellow Wellpoint affiliate UniCare

John Berkowitz of Medequote comments "The Sound/Tonik plans are the most exciting health insurance plans available today. Most importantly they are leading the wave to the future in the health plans are marketed. We are going to see more diverse product designs that appeal to different age groups, and family model's. These type of plans are just the tip of the iceberg. In health insurance everybody follows the leader, and the leader is clearly WellPoint."

Berkowitz goes on to say "We get call's from all over the country requesting the Sound or tonik plan, and it will be eventually available everywhere, but currently it is only available in California, Colorado, Illinois, Texas, and Nevada. I am sure more state's will come on line before the end of they year. Wellpoint has 14 BCBS enitites, and all are scheduled to come out with a derivative of the plan. UniCare will handle the expansion into area's where they are not the primary BCBS affiliate. Obviously the plan has room for a lot of growth."

"If you are in a state without Sound and Tonik there are alternative's" says Berkowitz, "but the the WellPoint products are obviously on the cutting edge compare dto the competition. I have never seen a health insurance product where people across the country were demanding it so actively. Even though it is electronic, it can't be rolled out in each state as easy as a paper application, so it will take a couple of years till it is avaialble everywhere."
