100 Best 2022 Anthem,-Inc.

When the pandemic hit, insurance giant Anthem held listening sessions and developed fresh ways to support associates. The Associate CARE Community of Service was an online community—complete with 24/7 concierge service—that assisted employees in need of food, transportation, childcare, and more. (It has since been discontinued and replaced with other wellness benefits.) Anthem also realizes the value of self-care; during Mental Health Awareness Month in 2021, employees tallied 500,000 #MeMinutes—time spent doing things like meditating, listening to podcasts, or chatting with friends. Anthem’s interest in employee input doesn’t end with COVID-era programs. The company’s IdeaHub site allows staffers to share innovative ideas for the future. “The organization as a whole is transformational,” says one employee. “They are open to new ideas, and there is no discrimination based on who the idea comes from. This fosters a great work environment and allows everyone to be heard.”

Aggregate sales hit $37.8 trillion last year—an increase of 19%, the highest annual growth rate in the list’s history.

Elevance Health, formerly known as Anthem, experienced rapid growth during the public-health crisis created by COVID-19. In 2021, its profits increased by 33.5% compared with the prior year’s, and the company announced in early 2022 that it expects medical costs to remain at a high level in the near future owing to the pandemic. Meanwhile, the health insurer added about 30% more Medicare Advantage customers in 2021 than it did the previous year, enrolling 431,000 new members in the plans.

Employees say: 
 
“What makes this company a great place of work is that we all have a relationship as if we're one big family. Everyone is so kind, caring and helpful etc. My team members and managers are very responsive and always available help is needed. And for that, it makes everyone happy and the company flourish.”

GPTW Women 2022-Elevane Health

Employees say: 
 
“Having a CEO who is both a woman and an academic All-American athlete is highly inspirational, and her empathy and concern for our members and us, the Anthem associates, come across as very genuine. Gail also ensures her hiring practices for executive leadership are inclusive of women and people of color. On a separate note, Anthem worked hard to help us get through the pandemic, especially at the beginning stages, and supported both our physical and mental health. One thing that was especially helpful during that time, and that they have since continued, is our office fitness center vendor EXOS began leading video movement and stretch breaks: 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon, respectively.”

This year’s Fortune 500 marks the 68th running of the list.

F500 2022 Anthem

Health-insurance provider Elevance Health experienced rapid growth during the public-health crisis created by COVID-19.

Meanwhile, Elevance Health added about 30% more Medicare Advantage customers in 2021 than it did the previous year, enrolling 431,000 new members in the plans.

100 Best Companies 2021-72-Anthem,-Inc.

A new addition to Fortune’s Best Companies list, health care insurance provider Anthem is no stranger to medical care crises. As the pandemic reared its ugly head, the company moved aggressively to help its employees work through the global shutdown. It offered 80 hours of additional paid leave to those who were ill or had children, and also paid for the cost of COVID testing and treatment in full.

Total revenue for the world’s biggest companies fell 4.8% to $31.7 trillion this year—the first decline in half a decade.

G500-2021-050-Anthem

America’s largest for-profit health insurance federation continues to roll on unabated, and, as with other industry titans, vertical integration has been its key to success in a tumultuous year. Controlling the length of a supply chain provides a bit of security in uncertain times, and Anthem’s pharmacy benefits arm IngenioRx has helped it do just that. The company’s 2020 revenue was just shy of $121 billion, a 17% increase over the previous year, assisted by a massive surge in Anthem’s Medicare Advantage business. The unit encompassing IngenioRx helped fuel a 9.3% year-over-year spike in first-quarter 2021 sales and is one of the company’s main focus areas going forward.

These companies foster supportive cultures, where employees find opportunities for growth with help from their colleagues.

Anthem is the largest for-profit health insurer in the sprawling Blue Cross Blue Shield federation—a compendium that includes 36 independent and locally operated companies. In 2019, the company seized on a growth opportunity by officially launching its new pharmacy benefits arm, IngenioRx. Anthem president and CEO Gail Boudreaux, who was appointed to the top perch in late 2017, has emphasized the importance of that move, citing it as the main driver for the firm’s nearly 13% increase in year-over-year operating revenue. However, as with most major health insurers, a special tax waiver for 2019 boosted Anthem’s numbers. The company has about 41 million insured members across more than two dozen states.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Elevance Health First Quarter Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen only mode. Later, we will conduct a question and answer session where participants are encouraged to present a single question. As a reminder, today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to the company's management.

Good morning, and welcome to Elevance Health's first quarter twenty twenty five earnings call. My name is Nathan Rich, Vice President of Investor Relations. With us this morning on the earnings call are Gail Boudreaux, President and CEO Mark Kaye, our CFO Pete Haitian, President of Carillon Morgan Kendrick, President of our Commercial Health Benefits business and Felicia Norwood, President of our Government Health Benefits business. Gail will begin the call with a review of the progress we've made against our strategic initiatives and a discussion of our first quarter performance. Mark will then discuss our financial results and outlook in greater detail.

After our prepared remarks, the team will be available for Q and A. During the call, we will reference certain non GAAP measures. Reconciliations of these non GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are available on our website, elevanthealth.com. We will also be making forward looking statements on this call. Listeners are cautioned that these statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of Elevance Health.

These risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. We advise listeners to carefully review the risk factors discussed in today's press release and in our quarterly filings with the SEC. I will now turn the call over to Gail.

Good morning, and thank you for joining today's call. At Elevance Health, we began 02/2025 with focus, momentum, and a deep commitment to advancing our purpose to improve the health of humanity. Across our enterprise, this purpose is not an abstract mission. It's what drives how we serve our members, support care providers, and partner with communities. In the first quarter, we've seen that commitment come to life in powerful ways.

Let me begin by highlighting just a few examples of the difference we're making. We believe the health care experience should be simpler, more affordable, and more human. That's why we've made sustained investments to fundamentally transform how people experience their care. In q one, our patient advocacy solutions supported over 6,000,000 members, delivering personalized guidance to navigate benefits, manage chronic conditions, and access behavioral health services. With a 95 satisfaction rate, it's become a valuable differentiator, especially among employers seeking holistic, proactive care for their employees.

We also continue to scale HealthOS, our digital platform that integrates clinical data and insights into provider workflows. It now supports more than 88,000 care providers and over 1,200 provider organizations, enabling real time decision making and seamless prior authorizations when documentation is accurate and complete. And for high performing providers, we've gone a step further, eliminating prior authorization requirements on more than 400 outpatient procedures to reduce administrative friction and speed up access to care. These efforts are helping us reduce complexity, rebuild trust, and create a more connected care experience for both members and care providers. Across every line of business, we're addressing the full spectrum of physical, behavioral, and social health to drive better outcomes and lower total cost of care.

We're expanding our value based oncology care model to Medicare Advantage this year following success in commercial last year with reduced inpatient admissions and higher adherence to treatment protocols. These are the kind of outcomes that matter most to members and care teams alike. Through Caroline's services, we continue to expand our external reach. In q one, we launched new post acute and behavioral health contracts with health plan clients, validating our ability to deliver risk based outcomes for complex populations and reinforcing Carillon's role as a scalable platform for whole person care. We also completed the acquisition of CareBridge at the end of last year, further strengthening our capabilities in home and community based services.
