Health insurers drop Medicare Advantage plans affecting nearly 3M older Americans

Nearly 3 million older Americans will lose their Medicare Advantage plans this year, according to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health research. One in 10 Medicare Advantage policyholders face forced disenrollment, with Vermont hit hardest at 92% of policyholders affected. Humana announced its exit from multiple markets for the second consecutive year, impacting 600,000 members. The company reported $1.9 billion profit in the first half of 2026. Insurers cite financial pressures from federal policy changes aimed at reducing overpayments, resulting in lower government reimbursement rates. Combined with rising medical costs, these factors are squeezing profit margins. Shannon Benton of Senior Citizens League said Humana's decision shows Medicare Advantage insurers are "prioritising profit growth over enrollment growth.

Nine major PBMs to display TrumpRx prescription drug prices from 2027

Nine pharmacy benefit managers will integrate TrumpRx prescription drug pricing into their benefit tools, effective 1 January 2027. The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association and participating PBMs—including CVS Health, Express Scripts, Humana, and OptumRx—will display cash prices from TrumpRx alongside plan coverage costs. The agreement covers commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid plans. Patients will see TrumpRx prices for all listed drugs, whether through presidential deals or standard pricing. CMS Administrator Dr Mehmet Oz said the commitment will help patients compare prices and find better deals. PCMA CEO David Marin stated the transparency will allow consumers to make better-informed choices about prescription drug costs. Some PBMs will use Real Time Benefit Tools to display pricing comparisons, whilst others may employ different methods.

Humana to exit Medicare Advantage plans affecting 600,000 members in 2027 margin push

Humana announced plans to exit additional Medicare Advantage plans in 2027, affecting approximately 600,000 members. The US insurer is targeting lower-return plans as part of its strategy to achieve a sustainable 3% pre-tax margin by 2028. Chief financial officer Celeste Mellet said the company expects to retain just over 40% of affected members through other offerings, similar to its 2025 experience. Humana is prioritising higher-performing plans with stronger value-based care penetration. The announcement followed Humana's second-quarter earnings report, which showed adjusted earnings of $7.61 per share on revenue of $40.89 billion. Individual Medicare Advantage membership increased 23% year-over-year to 6.45 million.

GEHC surges 11.7% on Q2 earnings, Humana drops 6.6% despite profit beat

GE HealthCare Technologies topped the S&P 500 on Wednesday morning whilst Humana lagged after both reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings. GEHC shares jumped 11.7% to $71.60, breaking above their recent trading range. Earnings rose 6.6% to $1.13 per share, beating forecasts by 9 cents. Revenue climbed 5.9% to $5.295 billion, slightly exceeding estimates. The company maintained its full-year earnings guidance of $4.80 to $5 per share. Humana shares fell 6.6% to $363.18 despite posting earnings of $7.61 per share, up 21% year-on-year and 35 cents above expectations. Revenue increased 26% to $40.867 billion. However, the company maintained its prior full-year outlook and expects adjusted earnings per share of minus $1.00 in the third quarter. The contrasting market reactions reflected ongoing sector dynamics, with managed-care stocks generally outperforming medical equipment stocks this year.

Humana cuts 2026 profit outlook to $6.52 per share after Medicare star ratings decline

Humana cut its 2026 earnings outlook on Wednesday after lower Medicare Advantage Star Ratings reduced quality bonuses from the federal government. The health insurer revised its full-year GAAP earnings target to a minimum of $6.52 per share, down from at least $8.36 per share previously. The company's second-quarter profit reached $694 million, or $5.73 per share, versus $545 million a year earlier. Total revenue rose 26% to $40.87 billion. A significant decline in plans rated four stars or higher has weighed on 2026 bonus payments. Medicare Advantage Star Ratings, which run from one to five, are tied to bonus payments from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Humana stock fell about 9% in premarket trading Wednesday.
