Elevance Health's VRP is +5.2pp — implied volatility exceeds realized movement by a wide margin. This means option buyers are overpaying for protection, creating a historically observed statistical edge for premium sellers. Historically, periods of elevated VRP have been the most profitable for theta strategies.

Look at three metrics in your broker: bid-ask spread (under 5% of mid is good, over 15% is a warning), open interest (higher means easier to enter and exit), and daily volume. For Elevance Health, check the specific strike and expiration you plan to trade — ATM and near-term monthlies are typically the most liquid. Use limit orders to avoid slippage from wide spreads.
