MCOs Posting 2Q Earnings Saw Satisfactory Gains in MA
While second-quarter 2020 earnings calls centered largely on uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, insurers with a large Medicare Advantage presence expressed satisfaction in membership growth so far this year and confidence in their positioning for the 2021 Annual Election Period (AEP).
Reporting second quarter earnings on Aug. 5, Humana Inc. exceeded analysts’ expectations with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $12.56 and other metrics that it attributed to customers delaying care due to stay-at-home orders and pandemic-related concerns. That deferral of care was partially offset by costs related to COVID-19 testing and treatment in the quarter as well as the company’s pandemic relief efforts, explained Chief Financial Officer Brian Kane during an Aug. 5 call to discuss recent quarterly earnings.
