Humana has 1.2 million members enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans rated 4 stars and above for 2026, with 14% in 4.5-star plans, up from 3% in 2025. These ratings mean bigger payments from the government, potentially worth millions or billions. The CMS unintentionally released preliminary star ratings data, impacting insurers’ revenues in 2027.

Humana is not satisfied with its 2026 star ratings but aims for top quartile results in 2027.

Humana reaffirmed its annual adjusted profit forecast of about $17 per share.
