Key Takeaways
- CEO emphasized strong comfort with Q2 guidance; all cost categories including Part D and supplemental are tracking well vs. expectations, with the inpatient issue from Q1 described as a temporary February blip
- Margins expected to expand as Medicare Advantage members mature — 90% of non-CA MA members are Year 1/Year 2 cohorts, and loyal members (enrolled >2 years) deliver significantly better MLRs
- PPO not expected to be a meaningful growth driver going forward; 2027 bids will focus on membership growth in both CA and ex-CA markets with conservative premium resets
