Trump administration finalizes better-than-feared Medicare Advantage payment rate in boost to health insurers
The Trump administration has finalized a 2.48% increase in average Medicare Advantage payments for 2027, amounting to over $13 billion. This decision, significantly higher than the initially proposed 0.09% hike, has positively impacted health insurer stocks, with shares of UnitedHealth and CVS Health rising over 9%, and Humana's stock jumping around 12%. The payment rate is crucial as it influences insurers' monthly premiums and benefits, affecting more than half of Medicare beneficiaries who rely on these plans.
