Trump administration finalizes better-than-feared Medicare Advantage payment rate in boost to health insurers
The Trump administration on Monday finalized a 2027 payment rate increase to privately run Medicare plans that was far bigger than initially proposed, a boost to health insurer stocks.
The government will increase average Medicare Advantage payments by 2.48%, or more than $13 billion, in 2027, according to a release from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The Trump administration in January proposed a payment rate hike of 0.09%, which pummeled shares of insurers that run those plans.
Shares of UnitedHealth and CVS Health rose more than 9% in after-hours trading on Monday. Meanwhile, Humana's stock jumped around 12%.
"Medicare Advantage and Part D should work for the people who rely on them," said CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz in a release. "These updates keep coverage affordable and ensure patients get real value from their plans."Â
