Description: ELV Elevance Health December 03, 2025
Elevance Health Inc. (NYSE: ELV) operates as a diversified health-benefits company in the United States, organized into four segments: Health Benefits, CarelonRx, Carelon Services, and Corporate & Other. The firm delivers a broad portfolio that includes commercial, Medicare, Medicaid and Federal Employee Program (FEP) health plans under the Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Wellpoint and Carelon brands, as well as supplemental products such as dental, vision, stop-loss and specialty insurance.
Beyond traditional insurance, Elevance runs a sizable pharmacy-services business (CarelonRx) that offers home delivery, specialty pharmacy, formulary management, rebate administration and infusion services. Its Carelon Services arm provides integrated care-management capabilities-behavioral health, utilization management, virtual care, payment integrity, and data-analytics platforms (HealthOS)-to support both internal plans and external payers.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year (2023) show total revenue of roughly $145 billion, enrollment of about 57 million members, and a medical loss ratio (MLR) hovering near 84 %, reflecting the industry-wide pressure from rising drug costs and inflationary health-care spending. Primary sector drivers include the aging U.S. population (projected Medicare enrollment growth of ~4 % per year through 2030) and regulatory trends such as the ongoing implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, which caps drug price increases for Medicare beneficiaries.
