Humana Inc. is a health and well-being company committed to putting health first for its teammates, customers, and company. They operate through two segments: Insurance, which offers medical and supplemental benefit plans, and CenterWell, which provides payor-agnostic healthcare services. Humana's primary revenue streams are derived from Medicare and state-based contracts, with a significant portion from Medicare Advantage plans. The company has a national presence and a geographically diverse membership base.
Consolidated premiums revenue increased by 8.0% YoY, primarily due to higher per member Medicare premiums and state-based contracts premiums. This was partially offset by a membership decline within the individual Medicare Advantage business, inclusive of exiting certain unprofitable plans.
The consolidated benefit ratio decreased 190 basis points YoY, primarily due to individual Medicare Advantage pricing, benefit design changes and favorable workday impacts. These were partially offset by a shift in line of business mix and a delayed flu season.
The consolidated operating cost ratio increased 20 basis points YoY, primarily due to business mix changes within the CenterWell segment, combined with the operating leverage impact of the loss of individual Medicare Advantage membership.
