UnitedHealthcare is still working on strategies to ensure its MA markets remain as profitable as possible, but it’s confident in its posture heading into 2027 open enrollment.
UnitedHealthcare is still drilling down on actions it can take to make its Medicare Advantage plans more profitable next year, even as the insurer is expected to exit more underperforming geographies. But the company could be poised for growth in the markets where it remains, according to new comments from a top executive.
“We think we’re going to be very competitive in terms of our pricing next year,” Wayne DeVeydt, the CFO of UnitedHealthcare’s parent company UnitedHealth, said during Wells Fargo’s annual healthcare conference Wednesday morning. “We think our benefits will be competitive … We still have a few markets where we’re right-sizing some of the products, but I think we’ll be well-positioned for 2027.” ARTICLE
