Specifically, the Youngstown unit being shut down dealt with a Medicare Advantage product, Anthem spokeswoman Kim Ashley said.
The cuts will leave the Youngstown location with about 230 employees. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield has 4,000 associates in Ohio overall, including 2,600 in Mason, Cincinnati and Miamisburg.
Ashley said the closing “will not impact Mason whatsoever.” She also said Wellpoint and Anthem are committed to Youngstown.
The affected jobs include primarily customer care representatives and other administrative positions. Some employees may be able to secure other jobs that open up at Youngstown, Ashley said.
