Summary
Elevance Health, Inc. (formerly Anthem, Inc.) filed a Form 8-K on January 29, 2004, to report its fourth quarter and full-year financial results for the period ended December 31, 2003. The primary purpose of this filing was to incorporate by reference a press release detailing these results.
