• |
Premiums generated by the Medicare business increased by $33.6 million, or 9.2%, to $400.7 million, mostly due to an increase in enrollment by approximately 20,000 member months, primarily reflecting a more competitive product offering, and higher average premium rates due to an increase in the average membership risk score. This quarter we also lowered the estimated MLR rebate accrual as utilization of services have continued to trend up to almost-normal levels following the reduction noted in the second quarter related to the lockdown as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
|
• |
Premiums generated by the Medicaid business increased by $64.6 million, or 36.6%, to $240.9 million, primarily reflecting higher member months of approximately 67,000 and higher average premium rates following three separate premium rate increases that became effective on November 1, 2019, May 1, 2020 and July 1, 2020.
|
• |
Premiums generated by the Commercial business increased by $5.3 million, or 2.6%, to $208.4 million, mainly reflecting higher average premium rates, an increase in fully insured member months during the quarter by approximately 3,000 and the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through in 2020.
|
• |
Claims incurred in the Medicare business increased by $25.5 million, or 8.6%, during the 2020 period and its MLR decreased 50 basis points to 80.6%. The increase in claims incurred is the result of higher membership offset by lower MLR. The lower MLR mostly reflects the increase in the average membership risk score and lower utilization resulting from the government-enforced lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by unfavorable prior-period reserve development and a more competitive product offering.
|
• |
Claims incurred in the Medicaid business increased by $50.9 million, or 29.0%, during the 2020 period. The MLR, at 94.0%, was 560 basis points lower than the same period last year. The increase in claims incurred is the result of higher membership offset by lower MLR. The lower MLR mostly reflects the impact of the premium increases mentioned above, lower utilization resulting from the government-enforced lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through in 2020. These effects were partially offset by unfavorable prior-period reserve development.
|
• |
Claims incurred in the Commercial business decreased by $1.3 million, or 0.7%, during 2020 and its MLR decreased 280 basis points, to 81.9%. The lower MLR mostly reflects the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through in 2020, offset in part by unfavorable prior-period reserve development.
|
• |
Premiums generated by the Medicare business increased by $95.2 million, or 8.9%, to $1,160.9 million, mostly due to higher average premium rates, reflecting an increase in the average membership risk score revenue in 2020, and higher member months enrollment by approximately 64,000. These increases were partially offset by the recognition of an MLR rebate related to lower utilization following the government-enforced lock-down during the COVID-19 pandemic.
|
• |
Premiums generated by the Medicaid business increased by $105.2 million, or 18.2%, to $682.9 million, primarily reflecting higher average premium rates following the premium rates increases in 2020 mentioned above, an increase in enrollment of approximately 90,000 member months, the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through in 2020, and a profit-sharing accrual recorded in 2019.
|
• |
Premiums generated by the Commercial business increased by $2.9 million, or 0.5%, to $605.3 million. This fluctuation primarily reflects higher fully insured enrollment during the year by approximately 48,000 member months and the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through in 2020. These increases were partially offset by lower average premium rates and the recognition of an MLR rebate related to lower utilization following the government-enforced lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
|
• |
Claims incurred in the Medicare business increased by $64.3 million, or 7.4%, during the 2020 period and its MLR decreased 120 basis points, to 80.2%. The increase in claim cost is due to higher member months, improved benefits in product offerings, and unfavorable prior-period reserve development, partially offset by the lower MLR. The lower MLR mostly reflects lower utilization of services as the result of the government-enforced lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was in force from mid-March to mid-June, when it was significantly reduced.
|
• |
Claims incurred in the Medicaid business increased by $93.2 million, or 17.3%, during 2020 and its MLR decreased 70 basis points, to 92.7%. The increase in claim cost is due to higher claims trend and member months and an unfavorable prior-period reserve development in 2020, partially offset by the lower MLR. The lower MLR reflects the higher premium rates in the 2020 period as well as the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through in 2020. In addition, the 2020 MLR reflects lower utilization of services as the result of the government-enforced lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
|
• |
Claims incurred in the Commercial business decreased by $38.3 million, or 7.7%, during 2020 and its MLR decreased 670 basis points, to 76.1%. These decreases mostly result from lower utilization related to the COVID-19 lockdown and the impact in the MLR of the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through in 2020. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of the previously mentioned estimated premium rebates, higher fully insured enrollment and an unfavorable change in prior-period reserve developments when compared to the 2019 period.
