We present the fifth edition of our Health Insurer Financial Insights newsletter as we continue to operate in unprecedented times. This newsletter focuses on market profitability and capitalization trends for public and non-public health insurers and their claims experience through Q4 2020. Section 3 provides highlights from public companies’ Q1 2021 financial statements. Section 4 provides insight into how public health carriers are reporting the impact of COVID-19. Our aim is to keep you abreast of key market trends and dynamics that impact health insurer financial results and profitability. We hope you enjoy the newsletter and find it informative. Please look for our next edition in late summer 2021.
2020 Statutory Financials – Individual, Group, Medicare, and Medicaid Markets Overall, health insurers reported improved profit margins in 2020. Incurred claims in Q4 2020 were slightly lower than Q3 2020, but were close to normal claims levels following the dip in Q2 2020 caused by COVID-19 reduced utilization. 2020 loss ratios were lower year-over-year, likely due to the overall impact of COVID-19 on claims experience.
2020 Market Capitalization: Statutory Capital/Rate Based Capital (RBC) TrendsMarket capitalization measured by Total Adjusted Capital (TAC) continued to increase in 2020 at similar rate as in the prior years with public and other health insurers growing at a slightly higher rate in 2020 due to improved underwriting gains. Risk Based Capital ratios increased in 2020 with TAC increases growing more than Authorized Control Level (ACL) RBC.
Q1 2021 Public Companies Financial PerformancePublic Companies reported margins in Q4 2020 lower than historical fourth quarter levels due to increased utilization. Generally, profitability improved to be in line with typical levels in Q1 2021 as loss ratios and operating expenses declined relative to Q4 2020.

We compared the reported PMPM incurred claims in Q4 2020 to expected claims based on the Q1 2020 reported PMPM claims and typical seasonal patterns from Q1 to Q4 to highlight the impact of COVID-19 on developing claims experience. Across all the lines of business, the reported PMPM claims in Q4 2020 were about 1% lower than expected, or $4 on a PMPM basis. This indicates that claim levels in Q4 2020 are roughly in line with typical levels. The difference in reported to expected change ranges from about -5% for Medicare Supplemental to 8% for Dental.
The expected Q4 2020 claims across all lines of business were estimated based on the average change in PMPM incurred claims from Q1 to Q4 as reported in 2017 through 2019. As shown in the chart below, the average Q1 to Q4 change in incurred claims PMPM was -1.5% for the period from 2017 to 2019, which we utilized as the pre-COVID-19 basis for the expected Q1 to Q4 growth rate.2 We applied the growth rate to the Q1 2020 reported incurred claims PMPM of $342 to estimate the expected claims for Q4 2020 at $337. The reported claims were $333 PMPM in Q4 2020, which is about 2.5% lower than Q1 2020 and 1.0% lower than expected claims. These slightly lower costs in Q4 2020 might be attributable to increased rates of COVID-19 experienced in many parts of the US resulting in some decreased utilization. For 2020, we saw the highest COVID-19 impact in Q2 2020 with lower impact in Q3 and Q4 2020.
Q4 2020 REPORTED CLAIMS EXPERIENCE
Incurred Claims by Line of BusinessWe performed a comparison of the expected to reported incurred claims for Q4 2020 across the major lines of business, which are summarized in the table below. In column 6 of the table, the reported less expected claims difference is positive for Dental (8.0%) and Medicare Advantage (3.7%), indicating slightly higher utilization than expected. The reported less expected is negative for Individual (4.6%), Group (0.6%), Medicare Supplement (5.2%), and Medicaid (2.9%), indicating slightly lower utilization than expected. The reported differences by line of business indicate that utilization due to COVID-19 and the timing of its return varied by line of business, as it did prior to Q4 2020.

TOTAL ADJUSTED CAPITAL BY CARRIER TYPE2016 TO 2020
MARKET CAPITALIZATION:STATUTORY CAPITAL/RBC TRENDSMarket Total Adjusted Capital (TAC) increased due to continued carrier profitability. Risk Based Capital (RBC) ratios increased as TAC grew faster than RBC amounts.
2016 TO 2020 STATUTORY1 RISK BASED CAPITAL02
Capital Held • Total capital held by health companies has grown
every year since 2016, from $130.9 billion to $197.6 billion.
• Each carrier type has grown capital each year since 2016.
RBC Ratios2
• RBC ratios for all carrier types saw increases in 2020 due, generally, to better underwriting margins driving higher growth in the TAC (numerator) relative to the Authorized Control Level (ACL) RBC (denominator). Public Companies and Other Health Carriers, overall, saw RBC ratios increase a little more than 10% (or 50 percentage points), whereas, Non-Public Blues saw a 3% (31 percentage points) increase.
• Non-Public Blues consistently had the highest RBC ratios, reflecting their need to retain more capital due to their limited ability to raise capital outside of business operations.
• Publicly traded health carriers had fairly consistent RBC ratios for 2016 through 2019 before seeing an increase in 2020.

2016 TO 2020 STATUTORY1 RISK BASED CAPITAL02RBC Ratios2 of Public Companies• Publicly traded companies’ RBC ratios were relatively flat over the 2016 to 2018 period, then saw a small decrease in
2019 before seeing a large increase in 2020.• The increase in 2020 is driven by favorable underwriting gains, limited ACL RBC growth, and some limitations on
dividends paid out of legal entities. We note anecdotally that some carriers have concerns that some of the favorable financial experience due to COVID-19 in 2020 could reverse with returning deferred services in 2021 which would be a reason to hold more capital at year-end 2020.
RBC Ratios2 of Other Health Carriers• Other Health Carriers often are affiliated with health systems and prefer not to tie up capital in insurance companies.
Overall capital levels have increased every year from 2016 to 2020. • Kaiser saw a decrease to their RBC ratio in 2020, unlike most other carriers.

RBC Ratios2 of Non-Public Blues• RBC ratios for Non-Public Blue licensees
tend to have an inverse relationship with revenue; the lower the revenue, the higher the RBC ratio.
• 2020 slightly strayed from this pattern as the largest Blues had higher RBC ratios, on average.

1. Based on 10Q and 10K segment reporting, and revenue and expense allocation estimates between insured and self-insured business. Results are indicative, but may not tie directly to other financial reports.
2. Due to a change in 10-K and 10-Q presentation in the wake of changes in their business structure in Q4 2018, Aetna and Cigna reported amounts beginning Q1 2019 are not comparable with prior quarters. The change in financial reporting presentation was caused by CVS buying Aetna in November 2018 and Cigna buying Express Scripts in December 2018, and as such, we removed the Q4 2018 amounts for these two companies.
HEALTH CARE ESTIMATED NET INCOME (AS % OF PREMIUM) – INSURED BUSINESSQ1 2017–Q1 2021
Net Income Trends – Insured Business1
• All companies, with the exception of Anthem, have reported the lowest profit margins in three years during Q4 2020. Anthem realized its second lowest profit margin in three years as Q3 2020 was its lowest. This decrease in profit margin across all companies is due to the increasing loss and operating cost ratios during Q4 2020.
• During Q1 2021, all companies saw profit margins increase back to levels seen prior to the COVID-19 outbreak due to lower loss ratios typically realized during the beginning of the year as well as operating cost ratios returning to normal levels.
• The variability in profit margins throughout 2020 and into Q1 2021 is driven by COVID-19 related impacts, including utilization changes and policyholder relief programs.

PUBLIC COMPANIES’ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCEWe reviewed Public Companies’ profitability for their insured block of business and noted that margins decreased during Q4 2020 but returned to typical historical levels for Q1 2021. Loss ratios increased in Q4 2020 and returned to lower levels in Q1 2021. In addition, all but Anthem realized increases in operating expense ratios in Q4 2020 and, overall, companies saw decreases in operating expense ratios in Q1 2021 to levels consistent with 2019.
PUBLIC COMPANIES’ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE03

Medical Loss Ratio1
• Reported loss ratios increased to around 83% for UnitedHealthcare, 86% for Cigna, 87% for Aetna, and to 89% for Anthem in Q4 2020 likely due to seasonal patterns and some rebound of medical utilization and COVID related testing and treatment costs, as well as possibly policyholder premium relief programs.
• During Q1 2021, loss ratios decreased to around 81% for UnitedHealthcare, 82% for Cigna, 83% for Aetna, and to 86% for Anthem as a result of seasonal patterns and the decreasing effect of COVID-19 related utilization.
Estimated2 Operating Expense Ratio1
• Operating expense ratios increased in Q4 2020 compared to Q3 2020 for Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare but decreased in Q1 2021 for all companies in this study to similar levels seen in 2019.
• The elevated expense ratios in 2020 were driven by combination of the reinstatement of the HIP Fee, premium credits provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to members enrolled in select Individual plans and fully insured employer customers, and membership mix changes.

COVID-19 IMPACT PER HEALTH CARRIERS Q1 2021 EARNINGS RELEASES The FDA issued its first emergency use authorization for a vaccine designed for the prevention of COVID-19 on December 11, 2020.1 Since that date, over 172 million Americans have received at least one dose of the approved vaccines.2 While the increase in availability of vaccines provides hope in the fight against the pandemic that has killed nearly 600 thousand Americans since the beginning of 2020,2 its impact is still being felt nationwide. The Q1 2021 earnings calls of major public health carriers provide some insight into the continued impact that COVID-19 has had on both the utilization of health care services and the mix of enrollment between Commercial and government-sponsored health coverage.
COVID-19 CORNER04
Q1 2021 UTILIZATIONGenerally, non-COVID utilization run rates were below normal levels during Q1 2021. While COVID-related care peaked in January for many carriers, most experienced overall utilization (inclusive of both COVID and non-COVID claims) lower than baseline. Notably, most carriers expect total utilization to return to normalized levels in the second half of 2021.
• Anthem: Saw an earlier and sharper decline in COVID hospitalizations than expected while non-COVID related care experienced a faster recovery due to the accelerated rollout of the vaccine. Non-COVID related utilization is not materially different between states that have high vaccination rates and those that do not.3
• Centene: Experienced lower than normal total utilization (including COVID-related care) during the first quarter with Q1 2021 utilization actually coming in below Q4 2020 utilization. Current guidance expects utilization to continue to be below normal through Q2 2021 before trending to normal levels during the second half of the year.4
• Cigna: COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations declined more rapidly than expected during the first quarter and Cigna expects direct COVID-19 costs to continue to decline throughout the rest of the year with non-COVID utilization returning to normalized levels. Interestingly, preventative services including mammograms, colonoscopies, cervical cancer screenings, and childhood immunizations are already back to pre-pandemic levels.5
• Humana: Non-COVID utilization continues to run below the baseline in Q1 2021. Non-COVID inpatient admissions were down about 20%, 15%, and 10% in January, February, and March respectively. Humana expects utilization to rebound during the second quarter and to then exceed the baseline in the second half of the year.6
• Molina: Medicare and Marketplace business experienced higher than normal utilization when including the direct cost of COVID-19 (estimated impact to the Medical Cost Ratio of 400 and 500 basis points respectively) while Medicaid business actually experienced a positive financial impact from the net effect of COVID-19. January had the highest COVID-19 direct costs during the quarter, then direct treatment costs declined throughout the rest of the quarter.7

COVID-19 CORNER04• UnitedHealth Group: Total utilization was slightly below the seasonal baseline. February and March saw
COVID-related care at about half the rate experienced in January. With that said, COVID-related inpatient admissions were lower during Q1 2021 than during Q4 2020 (about 55k vs. 65k).1
Q1 2021 MEMBERSHIPMany carriers continue to see substantial increases in their Medicaid membership driven by the pause in reverification of Medicaid eligibility. Interestingly, there are varying assumptions on when the reverification/redetermination process will resume.
• Anthem: Favorability in Medicaid enrollment continues to be driven by the pause in reverifications – current guidance reflects the assumption that the pause will continue through the end of 2021.2
• Centene: Medicaid growth driven by suspended eligibility redeterminations – current guidance reflects suspensions to last thru August 1st.3
• Molina: Marketplace membership grew by about 302k during the first quarter driven by effectuation rates that were substantially higher than historical averages and lower-than-expected natural attrition rates. Growth in Medicaid is driven by suspension of redeterminations – guidance reflects suspension to continue through the end of the third quarter.4

Reducing Premiums And Expanding Enrollment In The Individual Health Insurance Market In 2021
As we present the fourth edition of our Health Insurer Financial Insights newsletter, we continue to operate in the midst of unprecedented times. This newsletter focuses on profitability trends for public and non-public health insurers, including their claims experience through the third quarter of 2020. Section 4 provides insight into how health carriers are reporting the impact of COVID-19. Our aim is to keep you abreast of key market trends and dynamics that impact health insurer financial results. We hope you enjoy the newsletter and find it informative. Please look for our next edition in 2021.
Q3 YTD 2020 Statutory Financials – Individual, Group, Medicare, and Medicaid Markets Overall, health insurers continue to report improved profit margins in 2020. Incurred claims in third quarter were higher compared to second quarter of 2020 and are more in line with expected claims levels following the reduced levels in the second quarter. However, loss ratios remain low on a year-to-date basis due to the impact of COVID-19 on emerging claims experience.
Individual Market: MLR Rebate Trends Continuous increases in premium rates for ACA-compliant plans in the Individual market helped improve loss ratios and margins from 2015 to 2018. However, this trend also increased MLR rebates for 2019 coverage. These rebates totaled about 1.9% of earned premiums, or $1.7 billion. We estimate that the overall MLR rebate payments following the 2020 experience year to be about $3.1 billion, or 3.2% of the 2020 Individual market premiums, due to favorable COVID-19 claims experience.
Public Companies Financial PerformancePublic Companies continue to perform well. We reviewed the profitability of their insured blocks of business and noted that margins decreased, as loss ratios increased, in Q3 2020 relative to Q2 2020 as a result of increased utilization.
