ReutersUS health insurer shares fall after UnitedHealth flags Medicaid enrollment issues
Shares of U.S. health insurers fell on Wednesday after UnitedHealth Group cited a near-term disturbance around reimbursement rates for Medicaid due to ongoing program-wide enrollment hurdles that began about a year ago. UnitedHealth shares were down 4.2% to $482.46, while rivals Humana, Centene, and Elevance Health fell 3.2%, 3.7%, and 2.6%, respectively. "We have come through this very prolonged redetermination cycle in Medicaid making sure that the utilization and rates stay in perfect synchrony," a UnitedHealth executive said at the Bernstein investor conference, adding that they expect "some disturbance" around it.
