Elevance Health, Inc.

One of the largest health insurers in the United States, Elevance Health provides medical, dental, and vision coverage to families, employers, and people in government Medicare and Medicaid programs, through its Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in 14 states and its Wellpoint, Carelon, and MMM brands. Its roots reach back to regional Blue Cross plans in the 1940s, and it was reshaped by the 2004 merger of Anthem and WellPoint. Renamed in 2022, its name blends "elevate" and "advance," while its Carelon services brand takes its "lon" from a word meaning "full and complete."
