Medicare, Medicaid Segments May Be a ‘Mess,’ but Bounce-Back Expected
Although insurers have bet big — and cashed in — on privatized Medicare and Medicaid plans, recently those business lines have shown some signs of distress.
For example, Humana Inc. and CVS Health Corp.’s Aetna this week put concrete numbers behind the Medicare Advantage membership losses that they expect to sustain next year due to significant headwinds facing the MA industry. And heightened medical loss ratios in managed Medicaid dinged the otherwise solid first-quarter 2024 financial results recently reported by Centene Corp. and Molina Healthcare, Inc.
