From the latest earnings call
- CFO Mark Kaye said Medicaid rate actions, Medicare Advantage execution and improved Individual ACA claims experience helped third-quarter results exceed Elevance Health’s outlook.
- CEO Gail Boudreaux said Elevance expects 2027 earnings growth to come from health benefits margin improvement, broader adoption of Carelon’s solutions and greater operating efficiency.

Elevance Health is a U.S. health company founded in 1940 and headquartered in Indianapolis. It provides health insurance plans and healthcare-related services through three principal brands: Anthem Blue Cross and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Wellpoint, and Carelon.
Its Health Benefits business sells managed-care plans to individuals, employers, Medicare beneficiaries, Medicaid participants and federal employees. In a risk-based plan, the member or employer pays a premium and Elevance is responsible for covered medical costs. In fee-based arrangements, employers retain much of the insurance risk while Elevance provides administration, claims processing, provider-network access, medical management and related services.
