Elevance Health, Inc. is a prominent American health benefits company dedicated to improving lives, communities, and making healthcare simpler. Formerly known as Anthem, Inc., the company rebranded in June 2022 to reflect its broader mission of advancing health beyond traditional insurance services. With a history tracing back to the 1940s, the modern iteration of the company was formed through the 2004 merger of Anthem, Inc. and WellPoint Health Networks. Today, Elevance Health stands as one of the largest health insurance providers in the United States and is the largest for-profit managed care company within the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. The company is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, and serves over 117 million people through its diverse portfolio of health plans and services.
Elevance Health's core strategy revolves around an integrated, whole-health approach, addressing the full spectrum of its members' needs. This includes a wide array of medical, pharmaceutical, dental, behavioral health, long-term care, and disability plans. These services are delivered through a family of affiliated companies, including well-recognized brands like Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Wellpoint, and Carelon. Carelon represents the company's healthcare services brand, consolidating a broad portfolio of capabilities to tackle complex healthcare challenges. The company is committed to leveraging data-driven insights and digital platforms to create a more personalized, proactive, and affordable healthcare experience. This commitment is demonstrated through initiatives like the Whole Health Index, which assesses physical, behavioral, and social drivers of health to provide a comprehensive view of an individual's well-being. Through its philanthropic arm, the Elevance Health Foundation, the company invests in community health, focusing on critical areas such as maternal and child health, substance use disorder, and food as medicine to address health disparities and promote health equity.
