At Investment Conferences, Insurer Execs Discuss Cyberattack, Care Utilization

Speaking at two health care investment conferences on March 5, executives at three major health insurance companies noted that they had been affected by the ongoing cyberattack on Change Healthcare, the nation’s leading processor of medical claims. However, they noted that it is still too early to assess how the Change attack will affect their first-quarter results.

The companies — CVS Health Corp., Elevance Health, Inc. and Humana Inc. — each reaffirmed their financial guidance for the year while addressing investors. They admitted, though, that they do not have as much information on claims and utilization as usual due to the Change outage that was discovered on Feb. 21.
