Anthem

Also known as Elevance Health, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem BCBS, Anthem Blue Cross.

Anthem is one of the largest Blue Cross Blue Shield licensees in the country. It operates Blue plans across 14 states, including California, where it is known as Anthem Blue Cross, plus New York, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, Wisconsin, Maine, and New Hampshire. In many of these markets, Anthem BCBS is the dominant commercial carrier, so its rates set the tone for what a region pays.
