A sign of Elevance Health behind some flowers — coverage from STAT — Michael Conroy/AP

Paul Marchetti, the head of insurer Elevance Health’s pharmacy benefit manager, has left the company amid a wave of consumer complaints about patients receiving incorrect medicines or being unable to get their prescriptions filled.

Elevance did not confirm Marchetti’s departure as the president of CarelonRx, but according to his Linkedin profile, he left the company in May.

Elevance, the second-largest commercial health insurer in the country by market share, uses its CarelonRx subsidiary to manage its pharmacy business. In online complaints, CarelonRx customers point toward January 1 as the date when issues with obtaining their prescriptions from the company began. The reported problems include safety issues like receiving other people’s medications or receiving medications they discontinued years ago.
