Elevance Health,<\/a> a healthcare company specializing in concierge care and post-acute care management, has recently reported a significant profit of $2 billion in the first quarter of 2023. This success has been attributed to the company’s focus on expansion and growth, as evidenced by its various initiatives and programs.<\/p>\n

One of Elevance Health’s main objectives is to expand its concierge care program, which provides personalized healthcare services to members. The company plans to increase its membership to 40,000 by the end of 2023, according to Anthony Nguyen, MD, the company’s Chief Clinical Officer. This expansion is expected to improve patient outcomes and increase revenue for the company.<\/p>\n

However, not all of Elevance Health’s subsidiaries have been successful in their operations. In New Hampshire, Anthem’s performance has left providers with $300 million in unprocessed claims and has caused “universal dissatisfaction” among hospitals. Anthem, a subsidiary of Elevance Health, is reportedly working to address these issues and improve its overall operations in the state.<\/p>\n

To contribute to its growth in 2023, Elevance Health is also planning to expand its post-acute care management program. This program provides support for patients transitioning from hospital to home or another care facility, improving their recovery and reducing the likelihood of readmission. The expansion of this program is expected to benefit both patients and the company.<\/p>\n

One of the issues that Elevance Health<\/a> has faced recently is its coverage of GLP-1 drugs, which are prescribed for weight loss and diabetes. The company has stated that it does not cover GLP-1 drugs prescribed only for weight loss, except in states that require coverage of these drugs by law. However, the company does cover GLP-1 drugs meant for treating diabetes, according to John Gallina, Elevance Health’s CFO.<\/p>\n

In addition, Elevance Health<\/a> has resolved a dispute with Valley Health, a healthcare provider in Winchester, Virginia, over claims reimbursement. The dispute was settled out of court, allowing both parties to move forward with their operations.<\/p>\n

Elevance Health’s success has also been reflected in its recent earnings report, which showed double-digit revenue growth and beat investor expectations. This report indicates that the company’s focus on expansion and growth has been paying off, and its initiatives and programs are expected to continue to drive its success in the future.<\/p>\n

As part of its expansion efforts, Elevance Health has also opened its first brick-and-mortar integrated healthcare facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Carelon, the care delivery arm of the company, will offer advanced primary care and behavioral health services, along with nonclinical counseling from a multidisciplinary team of clinicians. This facility is expected to provide high-quality healthcare services to patients in the area and contribute to the company’s growth.<\/p>\n

In other news, Monica Schmude has been appointed as the new leader of Anthem BCBS of Virginia, a subsidiary of Elevance Health. Schmude brings with her over 13 years of experience from Cigna and is expected to drive growth and success for the company’s operations in Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
