Our unique value
Carelon Research is the trusted partner in the industry, generating evidence to guide business decisions and advance goals.
We put clients first.
As the industry pioneer in real-world evidence, we design the study, deliver the evidence, and create the value clients need – on time and within budget. We know what evidence is needed, why it is needed, and how it works in the real world. That’s because our experts not only understand data and the science, but have spent years working in academia, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, pharmacies, and other clinical settings.
We bring quality data and expertise.
As the research arm of Elevance Health, one of America’s largest health insurers, we manage our own data source, the Healthcare Integrated Research Database, or HIRD®. We’ve built and managed the HIRD for over 20 years, and it includes detailed information on more than 88 million individual lives. We know our data, and help you find the evidence you need – then turn it into action to create new and better drugs, devices, programs, and policies.
We deliver a fresh, tailored approach.
We customize our process to ensure the results we deliver advance your business goals. We have long, strong relationships with regulators, patient advocates, research sponsors, and healthcare providers and payers – and can convene individualized meetings with these partners to drive projects forward. We also embrace innovation and apply new tools and new ways of thinking to projects. We’re in this to build lasting relationships so we can work together, year after year, to improve healthcare.
Our unique value: expertise, data, and relationships
Our combination of expertise, data, and relationships creates value for life science companies, government agencies, and academic research leaders.

We manage one of the biggest, most comprehensive healthcare databases in the industry.
