Bengaluru: Humana surpassed Wall Street's profit expectations for the third quarter, attributed to the robust performance of its government-backed Medicare insurance segment catering to older adults.
The health insurer primarily focuses on Medicare Advantage plans, where the U.S. government pays private insurers a fixed rate to manage healthcare for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as those with disabilities.
The company reported a medical cost ratio of 89.9%, an increase from 86.6% in the same quarter last year. This ratio indicates the percentage of premiums allocated to medical care, with analysts anticipating a ratio of 89.94% for the quarter.
