Medicaid Contract Delays Drive Revenue Losses in Florida and Texas
What happened
The company reported that its third-quarter Adjusted EPS was $0.89, a 52% decrease attributed primarily to a higher consolidated medical care ratio. The company's 2026 Adjusted EPS Guidance of at least $5.25 includes a $1.50 per share loss stemming from the Florida Medicaid contract implementation and a $1.00 per share loss from a discontinued traditional MAPD product. Premium Revenue for the third quarter was $10.5 billion, a 4% decrease year over year, driven by lower membership in Medicaid and Marketplace segments.

The company also noted that the Medicaid Rate Outlook for the full year 2026 is 4.5%, an increase from the previous 4% range, due to rate updates in several states.
