About
Boston Scientific Corporation is a Marlborough, Massachusetts-based global medical device company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: BSX) as an S&P 500 Health Care component — developing and commercializing medical devices for minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology, urology, endoscopy, and neuromodulation through approximately 48,000 employees in 130 countries. In fiscal year 2024, Boston Scientific reported revenues of $16.7 billion (+18% year-over-year) — driven by the Farapulse pulsed field ablation (PFA) system for atrial fibrillation treatment, WATCHMAN FLX left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) device, and Rhythmia Ultra high-density cardiac mapping — making Boston Scientific the fastest-growing large-cap medical device company and one of the strongest organic growth stories in healthcare. CEO Mike Mahoney has executed acquisitions and organic R&D investment to build a diverse cardiovascular and electrophysiology portfolio: the 2023 acquisition of Apollo Endosurgery ($615 million, flexible endoscopic stapling for minimally invasive procedures) and the 2022 acquisition of Lumenis (surgical laser systems) expanded Boston Scientific beyond the cardiac core. Boston Scientific's strongest 2024 growth driver — Farapulse (pulsed field ablation) — achieved rapid adoption as a new standard-of-care in atrial fibrillation ablation by delivering shorter procedure times (2-hour PFA versus 4-hour radiofrequency ablation) and improved safety profile compared to traditional thermal ablation methods.
Indianapolis BCBS managed care (NYSE: ELV) ~$175B FY2024 revenue; Anthem renamed 2022, BCBS exclusive in 14 states, Carelon health services, Medicaid/MA medical cost pressure competing with UnitedHealth and Cigna.
About
Elevance Health, Inc. (formerly Anthem, Inc.) is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based managed care and health services company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ELV) as an S&P 500 Health Care component — providing health insurance plans under the Blue Cross Blue Shield brand in 14 states (Indiana, Georgia, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin), Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, and commercial employer-sponsored health plans through Carelon (pharmacy and behavioral health services — formerly IngenioRx) to approximately 47 million medical members through approximately 100,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Elevance Health reported revenues of approximately $175 billion (predominantly premium revenues from employer-sponsored and government-program health plan members), with operating income under pressure from medical cost increases in the Medicaid segment (post-COVID health utilization normalization causing medical costs to exceed Medicaid actuarial pricing expectations set during the pandemic period of reduced care utilization). CEO Gail Boudreaux has executed the company's transformation from Anthem to Elevance Health (rebranded June 2022) — reflecting the broadened value proposition beyond health insurance into health services: Carelon Services (behavioral health, pharmacy benefit management, utilization management, home health services for both Elevance and external health plan clients) represents the strategy of building a health services ecosystem that retains value within the Elevance enterprise rather than paying external PBMs, behavioral health managers, and care management vendors.
