But today is my last day at Anthem.
Lavie MargolinHOST
A LinkedIn post can't capture what it's meant to help build this team, so I'll keep it simple.
Lavie MargolinHOST
Thank you.
Lavie MargolinHOST
Carlos Silva, this one's for you.
Lavie MargolinHOST
More than a boss, a mentor, and a friend.
Lavie MargolinHOST
It's because of your leadership and vision that I joined Anthem.
Lavie MargolinHOST
Although I'm leaving Anthem, I'll be cheering from home when the next record breaks.
Luba SobolevskyGUEST
pair-level challenges this year from every direction.
Luba SobolevskyGUEST
A lot of Anthem denials and other pairs as well in the beginning of the year that no one could explain that continue to persist to various Medicare pick-mix code issues that we've all been working on.
Luba SobolevskyGUEST
And it seems that the bigger this industry gets, the more complexity it sort of attracts into our ecosystem.
John LoveHOST
It's funny that you say that Lula, because I want to stop there and just unpack.
SP3HOST
Thank you so much, Adrian, for the support.
SP3HOST
He says, CNA was on the verge of a real comeback under Scott D'Amore, but Anthem ruined it by doing business with WWE.
SP3HOST
They also ruined it by firing Scott because he wanted to buy the promotion, even though they wound up selling anyway.
JoshHOST
None of it made sense.
Kevin BigginsGUEST
So three of them are really easy.
Kevin BigginsGUEST
One is you log into the Anthem app, which is Sydney.

That's one item.

Back to your Riley story.
Casey SteedHOST
It's really interesting, some of the costs.
Casey SteedHOST
The major medical plan, this is what most people have, The major medical plan with Anthem has been provided through a self-funded pool.
Casey SteedHOST
The program provides members an alternative to group health insurance plans using the concept of pooling to reduce insurance premiums through consolidating the fixed costs over a larger population of members.
Casey SteedHOST
And here's what I find interesting.
Casey SteedHOST
That's a lot.
Casey SteedHOST
That is big.
Casey SteedHOST
And one of the reasons the initial renewal rate from Anthem was 15.9%, but it got down a little bit.
Casey SteedHOST
And to reduce this rate, the pool elected to remove all non-diabetic GLP-1s beginning on the first of the year in 2027.
