Investor Day Roundup: Centene, CVS, United See Promise of Duals Market in 2024 and Beyond

While major Medicare Advantage insurers are bracing for potential revenue reductions stemming from upcoming changes to the risk adjustment model, three insurers presenting at their recent investor conferences appeared bullish on the prospect of continued growth in MA, and in particular, the sizable opportunity to serve people who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. According to a recent analysis from AIS’s Directory of Health Plans, roughly 5.6 million out of an estimated 13 million dual eligibles in the U.S. are enrolled in a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP).
