Elevance Health announced third quarter net income of $1.18 billion despite increasing medical expenses across its health plans. The health insurer’s revenue grew 12.4% to $50.7 billion, driven by premium yields and Medicare Advantage growth.
Strong Financial Performance Despite Cost Pressures
Elevance Health, the nation’s second-largest health insurer, reportedly achieved $1.18 billion in net income during the third quarter, representing a 17.8% increase compared to the same period last year, according to the company’s earnings report. The performance comes amid what analysts describe as ongoing cost pressures in the healthcare sector, particularly within government-subsidized insurance programs.
