2022 Earnings Guidance
The company is pleased its strong start to the year has enabled it to raise its Adjusted EPS guidance for the year ending December 31, 2022 (FY22) by $0.50 per share to ‘approximately $24.50’, representing 19 percent growth over the FY 2021 Adjusted EPS. Importantly, this updated guidance continues to include a $1.00 embedded COVID headwind, as well as the estimated dilutive impact related to the pending divestiture of the company's 60 percent ownership of Kindred at Home's Hospice and Personal Care divisions.
The outperformance in 1Q22 is primarily driven by the following items, which have been considered in the company's updated full year guidance:
•lower than expected administrative expenses, some of which are timing in nature; and
•strong results in the company's pharmacy business fueled by membership favorability, higher than expected mail-order utilization, and lower unit cost due to favorable underlying drug mix; the company expects the favorability to persist throughout the year, although with some moderation, as previous estimates contemplated increasing mail-order penetration rates over the course of the year.
All other lines of business are performing as expected or slightly positive, further contributing to the company's strong quarter.

2023 Final Rate Notice
On April 4, 2022, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published its Announcement of Calendar Year 2023 Medicare Advantage Capitation Rates and Part C and Part D Payment Policies (the Final Rate Notice). The company expects the Final Rate Notice to result in a 4.6 percent rate increase for non-end stage renal disease (ESRD) Medicare Advantage business, excluding the impact of Employer Group Waiver Plan funding changes. The company’s 4.6 percent rate increase compares to CMS’s estimate for the sector of 5.0 percent on a comparable basis, with the variance primarily driven by average Star ratings, as well as county rebasing and the company's geographic footprint. CMS also establishes separate rates of payment for ESRD beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans. The company expects the Final Rate Notice to result in a 6.8 percent rate increase in 2023 for ESRD beneficiaries, which reflects CMS’s United States Per Capita Cost trend of 9.6 percent, offset by 2.8 percent for ESRD risk model change impacts.

Cautionary Statement
This news release includes forward-looking statements regarding Humana within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in investor presentations, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of Humana’s executive officers, the words or phrases like “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “likely will result,” “estimates,” “projects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s SEC filings, a summary of which includes but is not limited to the following:
•If Humana does not design and price its products properly and competitively, if the premiums Humana receives are insufficient to cover the cost of healthcare services delivered to its members, if the company is unable to implement clinical initiatives to provide a better healthcare experience for its members, lower costs and appropriately document the risk profile of its members, or if its estimates of benefits expense are inadequate, Humana’s profitability could be materially adversely affected. Humana estimates the costs of its benefit expense payments, and designs and prices its products accordingly, using actuarial methods and assumptions based upon, among other relevant factors, claim payment patterns, medical cost inflation, and historical developments such as claim inventory levels and claim receipt patterns. The company continually reviews estimates of future payments relating to benefit expenses for services incurred in the current and prior periods and makes necessary adjustments to its reserves, including premium deficiency reserves, where appropriate. These estimates involve extensive judgment, and have considerable inherent variability because they are extremely sensitive to changes in claim payment patterns and medical cost trends. Accordingly, Humana's reserves may be insufficient.
•If Humana fails to effectively implement its operational and strategic initiatives, particularly its Medicare initiatives and state-based contract strategy, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected, which is of particular importance given the concentration of the company’s revenues in these products. In addition, there can be no assurances that the company will be successful in maintaining or improving its Star ratings in future years.
•If Humana fails to properly maintain the integrity of its data, to strategically maintain existing or implement new information systems, to protect Humana’s proprietary rights to its systems, or to defend against cyber-security attacks or prevent other privacy or data security incidents that result in security breaches that disrupt the company's operations or in the unintentional dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected.
•Humana is involved in various legal actions, or disputes that could lead to legal actions (such as, among other things, provider contract disputes and qui tam litigation brought by individuals on behalf of the government), governmental and internal investigations, and routine internal review of business processes any of which, if resolved unfavorably to the company, could result in substantial monetary damages or changes in its business practices. Increased litigation and negative publicity could also increase the company’s cost of doing business.
•As a government contractor, Humana is exposed to risks that may materially adversely affect its business or its willingness or ability to participate in government healthcare programs including, among other things, loss of material government contracts; governmental audits and investigations; potential inadequacy of government determined payment rates; potential restrictions on profitability; including by comparison of profitability of the company’s Medicare Advantage business to non-Medicare Advantage business; or other changes in the governmental programs in which Humana participates. Changes to the risk-adjustment model utilized by CMS to adjust premiums paid to Medicare Advantage, or MA, plans according to the health status of covered members, including proposed changes to the methodology used by CMS for risk adjustment data validation audits that fail to address adequately the statutory requirement of actuarial equivalence, if implemented, could have a material adverse effect on the company's operating results, financial position and cash flows.
•Humana's business activities are subject to substantial government regulation. New laws or regulations, or legislative, judicial, or regulatory changes in existing laws or regulations or their manner of application could increase the company's cost of doing business and have a material adverse effect on Humana’s results of
operations (including restricting revenue, enrollment and premium growth in certain products and market segments, restricting the company’s ability to expand into new markets, increasing the company’s medical and operating costs by, among other things, requiring a minimum benefit ratio on insured products, lowering the company’s Medicare payment rates and increasing the company’s expenses associated with a non-deductible health insurance industry fee and other assessments); the company’s financial position (including the company’s ability to maintain the value of its goodwill); and the company’s cash flows.
•Humana’s failure to manage acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully may have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
•If Humana fails to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with the providers of care to its members, the company’s business may be adversely affected.
•Humana faces significant competition in attracting and retaining talented employees. Further, managing succession for, and retention of, key executives is critical to the Company’s success, and its failure to do so could adversely affect the Company’s businesses, operating results and/or future performance.
•Humana’s pharmacy business is highly competitive and subjects it to regulations and supply chain risks in addition to those the company faces with its core health benefits businesses.
•Changes in the prescription drug industry pricing benchmarks may adversely affect Humana’s financial performance.
•Humana’s ability to obtain funds from certain of its licensed subsidiaries is restricted by state insurance regulations.
•Downgrades in Humana’s debt ratings, should they occur, may adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
•The securities and credit markets may experience volatility and disruption, which may adversely affect Humana’s business.
•The spread of, and response to, the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, underscores certain risks Humana faces, including those discussed above, and the ongoing, heightened uncertainty created by the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact to Humana of COVID-19.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the premiums the company charges may prove to be insufficient to cover the cost of health care services delivered to its members, each of which could be impacted by many factors, including the impacts that Humana has experienced, and may continue to experience, to its revenues due to limitations on its ability to implement clinical initiatives to manage health care costs and chronic conditions of its members, and appropriately document their risk profiles, as a result of the company’s members being unable or unwilling to see their providers due to actions taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19; increased costs that may result from higher utilization rates of medical facilities and services and other increases in associated hospital and pharmaceutical costs; and shifts in the company’s premium and medical claims cost trends to reflect the demographic impact of higher mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, Humana is offering, and has been mandated by legislative and regulatory action (including the Families First Act and CARES Act) to provide, certain expanded benefit coverage to its members, such as waiving, or reimbursing, certain costs for COVID-19 testing, vaccinations and treatment. These measures taken by Humana, or governmental action, to respond to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 (including further expansion or modification of the services delivered to its members, the adoption or modification of regulatory requirements associated with those services and the costs and challenges associated with ensuring timely compliance with such requirements), and the potential for widespread testing, treatments and the distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccines, could adversely impact the company’s profitability.
The spread and impact of COVID-19 and additional variants, or actions taken to mitigate this spread, could have material and adverse effects on Humana’s ability to operate effectively, including as a result of the complete or partial closure of facilities or labor shortages. Disruptions in public and private infrastructure, including communications, availability of in-person sales and marketing channels, financial services and supply chains, could materially and adversely disrupt the company’s normal business operations. A significant subset of the company's and the company's third party providers' employee population are in a remote work environment in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, which may exacerbate certain risks to Humana’s business, including an increased demand for information technology resources, increased risk of phishing and other
cybersecurity attacks, and increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal, proprietary, or confidential information. The continued COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity, including the businesses of some of Humana’s commercial customers, and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. In addition to disrupting Humana’s operations, these developments may adversely affect the timing of commercial customer premium collections and corresponding claim payments, the value of the company’s investment portfolio, or future liquidity needs.
The ongoing, heightened uncertainty created by the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact to Humana of COVID-19. Humana is continuing to monitor the spread of COVID-19, changes to the company’s benefit coverages, and the ongoing costs and business impacts of dealing with COVID-19, including the potential costs and impacts associated with lifting or reimposing restrictions on movement and economic activity, the timing and degree in resumption of demand for deferred healthcare services, the pace of administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the effectiveness of those vaccines, and related risks. The magnitude and duration of the pandemic remain uncertain, and its impact on Humana’s business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could be material.
In making forward-looking statements, Humana is not undertaking to address or update them in future filings or communications regarding its business or results. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed herein may or may not occur. There also may be other risks that the company is unable to predict at this time. Any of these risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Humana advises investors to read the following documents as filed by the company with the SEC for further discussion both of the risks it faces and its historical performance:
•Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021; and
•Form 8-Ks filed during 2022.

2022 Earnings Guidance
The company is pleased its strong start to the year has enabled it to raise its Adjusted EPS guidance for the year ending December 31, 2022 (FY22) by $0.50 per share to ‘approximately $24.50’, representing 19 percent growth over the FY 2021 Adjusted EPS. Importantly, this updated guidance continues to include a $1.00 embedded COVID headwind, as well as the estimated dilutive impact related to the pending divestiture of the company's 60 percent ownership of Kindred at Home's Hospice and Personal Care divisions.
The outperformance in 1Q22 is primarily driven by the following items, which have been considered in the company's updated full year guidance:
•lower than expected administrative expenses, some of which are timing in nature; and
•strong results in the company's pharmacy business fueled by membership favorability, higher than expected mail-order utilization, and lower unit cost due to favorable underlying drug mix; the company expects the favorability to persist throughout the year, although with some moderation, as previous estimates contemplated increasing mail-order penetration rates over the course of the year.
All other lines of business are performing as expected or slightly positive, further contributing to the company's strong quarter.
Additional FY 2022 guidance points are included in the table on page 18 of this earnings release.

2023 Final Rate Notice
On April 4, 2022, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published its Announcement of Calendar Year 2023 Medicare Advantage Capitation Rates and Part C and Part D Payment Policies (the Final Rate Notice). The company expects the Final Rate Notice to result in a 4.6 percent rate increase for non-end stage renal disease (ESRD) Medicare Advantage business, excluding the impact of Employer Group Waiver Plan funding changes. The company’s 4.6 percent rate increase compares to CMS’s estimate for the sector of 5.0 percent on a comparable basis, with the variance primarily driven by average Star ratings, as well as county rebasing and the company's geographic footprint. CMS also establishes separate rates of payment for ESRD beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans. The company expects the Final Rate Notice to result in a 6.8 percent rate increase in 2023 for ESRD beneficiaries, which reflects CMS’s United States Per Capita Cost trend of 9.6 percent, offset by 2.8 percent for ESRD risk model change impacts.

Consolidated revenues
GAAP consolidated revenues for 1Q22 increased $3.30 billion, or 16 percent, from 1Q21. The favorable year-over-year comparison was primarily driven by the following factors:
•individual Medicare Advantage and state-based contracts membership growth,
•higher per member individual Medicare Advantage premiums, and
•the impact of Kindred at Home revenues from external customers (prior to the third quarter of 2021, Kindred at Home's results were non-consolidating reflective of Humana's minority ownership interest).
These increases were partially offset by the following factors:
•declining year-over-year membership associated with the company's group commercial medical products; and
•lower investment income in 1Q22 as a result of unfavorable fair value adjustments to the company's publicly-traded equity securities.
Consolidated benefits expense
The year-over-year increase in the quarterly GAAP consolidated benefit ratio reflects the anticipated lower favorable prior period medical claims reserve development (Prior Period Development) as further described below, partially offset by higher per member individual Medicare Advantage premiums and lower admissions per thousand (APT) associated with the Medicare Advantage business.
Prior Period Medical Claims Reserve Development (Prior Period Development)
The higher levels of favorable Prior Period Development in 2021 reflected the reversal of actions taken in 2020, including the suspension of certain financial recovery programs for a period of time to provide financial and administrative relief for providers facing unprecedented strain as a result of the pandemic.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Consolidated Favorable Prior Period Development, $ in millions Basis point (bps) | First Quarter |
Prior Period Development from prior years recognized in 2022 | $360 |
Decrease to benefit ratio | (160 bps) |
Prior Period Development from prior years recognized in 2021 | $555 |
Decrease to benefit ratio | (280 bps) |
Excluding the impact of the favorable Prior Period Development, the consolidated benefit ratio would have been 88.0 percent in 1Q22 compared to 88.7 percent in 1Q21.
Consolidated operating expenses
The 230 basis point increase in the GAAP consolidated operating cost ratio from 1Q21 to 1Q22 primarily related to the the impact of the consolidation of Kindred at Home operations; the business has a significantly higher operating cost ratio than the company's historical consolidated operating cost ratio.
This increase was partially offset by scale efficiencies associated with growth in the company's individual Medicare Advantage membership.
Balance sheet
•Days in claims payable (DCP) of 43.0 days at March 31, 2022 represented a decrease of 0.7 days from 43.7 days at December 31, 2021, and a decrease of 2.0 days from 45.0 days at March 31, 2021.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company typically reported a DCP of approximately 40 days.
Changes are outlined in the DCP rollforward on page S-12 of the statistical supplement included in this release.
•During 1Q22, the company closed on a public senior note offering of $750 million; the 3.700 percent senior notes are due in 2029. The company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which included the repayment of borrowings under the company's commercial paper program.
•Humana's debt-to-total capitalization at March 31, 2022 increased 210 basis points to 45.8 percent from 43.7 percent at December 31, 2021. The increase primarily resulted from the issuance of the company's senior notes as described above, as well as the impact of the previously disclosed share repurchases under an accelerated stock repurchase (ASR) program. These increases were partially offset by the impact of 1Q22 net earnings and commercial paper repayments.
The company intends to use the majority of its proceeds resulting from the divestiture of Kindred at Home's Hospice and Personal Care divisions for the repayment of debt. The company anticipates its debt-to-total capitalization ratio to be approximately 40 percent at the end of 2022.
Operating cash flows
•Cash flows provided by operations of $302 million in 1Q22 compared to cash flows used in operations of $837 million in 1Q21, an increase of $1.14 billion year over year. The favorable comparison primarily reflects the 1Q21 cash flow impact related to the pay down of claims inventory and capitation for provider surplus amounts
earned in 2020, as well as additional provider support, combined with other favorable working capital items and higher earnings in 1Q22.

Humana’s Retail Segment
This segment consists of the company’s Medicare benefits, marketed to individuals directly or via group Medicare accounts, as well as its Medicare Supplement and state-based contracts businesses. State-based contracts include those with various states to provide services under the Medicaid program, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), dual-eligible demonstration, and Long-Term Support Services benefits. In addition, this segment also includes the company’s contract with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to administer the Limited Income Newly Eligible Transition (LINET) prescription drug plan (PDP) program.

Segment earnings - Adjusted (a, b) | $788 | $798 |
Retail segment revenues:
The 1Q22 revenues for the Retail segment increased by $2.70 billion, or 14 percent, from 1Q21 primarily reflecting the following items:
•individual Medicare Advantage and state-based contracts membership growth; and
•higher per member individual Medicare Advantage premiums.
Retail segment benefits expense:
The 30 basis point increase in the 1Q22 Retail segment benefit ratio from 1Q21 reflects the anticipated lower favorable Prior Period development, partially offset by the impact of higher per member individual Medicare Advantage premiums and lower APT associated with the Medicare Advantage business.
Prior Period Development

Prior Period Development from prior years recognized in 2021 | $463 |
Decrease to benefit ratio | (250 bps) |
Excluding the impact of the favorable Prior Period Development, the segment's benefit ratio would have been 89.5 percent in 1Q22 compared to 90.2 percent in 1Q21.
Retail segment operating costs:
The 20 basis point increase in the segment's operating cost ratio in 1Q22 from 1Q21 primarily reflects the following factors:
•additional marketing costs in 1Q22 to support individual Medicare Advantage growth; and
•strategic technology investments to position the segment for long-term success.
These factors were partially offset by scale efficiencies associated with growth in the company's individual Medicare Advantage membership.

Individual Medicare Advantage
The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily due to membership additions associated with the most recent Annual Election Period (AEP). The year-over-year growth was further impacted by the continued enrollment resulting from special elections, age-ins, and Dual Eligible Special Need Plans (D-SNP) membership.
Individual Medicare Advantage membership includes 640,600 Dual Eligible Special Need Plans (D-SNP) members as of March 31, 2022 a net increase of 139,500, or 28 percent, from 501,100 as of March 31, 2021, and up 64,500, or 11 percent, from 576,100 as of December 31, 2021.
State-based contracts
The year-over-year and sequential growth continues to reflect the suspension of state eligibility redetermination efforts due to the currently enacted public health emergency (PHE).
Humana’s Group and Specialty Segment
This segment consists of the company’s employer group fully-insured commercial medical products and specialty insurance benefits marketed to individuals and groups, including dental, vision, and life insurance benefits. In addition, the segment also includes the company’s administrative services only (ASO) products and its military services businesses.
| | | | | | | | |
Group and Specialty segment results in millions, except percentages | 1Q22 | 1Q21 |

Operating cost ratio - GAAP | 25.7 | % | 22.9 | % |
Segment earnings - GAAP | $132 | $174 |
Segment earnings - Adjusted (a,b) | $133 | $175 |
Group and Specialty segment revenues:
Revenues for the Group and Specialty segment in 1Q22 decreased $124 million, or 7 percent, from segment revenues in 1Q21. This decrease was primarily due to the anticipated decline in the company's fully-insured commercial medical and ASO commercial membership, partially offset by higher per member premiums across the fully-insured commercial business.
Group and Specialty segment benefits expense:
The segment's 1Q22 benefit ratio was inline with the Group and Specialty segment's 1Q21 ratio. The 1Q22 ratio reflects the anticipated lower favorable Prior Period Development, partially offset by the following factors:
•company's pricing and benefit design efforts to address COVID-19 and increase profitability,
•less severe COVID-19 impact within the fully-insured commercial business due to the enrolled population's vaccination rate in 1Q22 compared to 1Q21, and
•the impact of the specialty product's lower benefit ratio, as the segment results now reflect a higher mix of the specialty business.
Prior Period Development
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Prior Period Development from prior years recognized in 2021 | $92 |
Decrease to benefit ratio | (600 bps) |
Excluding the impact of the favorable Prior Period Development, the segment's benefit ratio would have been 77.0 percent in 1Q22 compared to 80.7 percent in 1Q21.
Group and Specialty segment operating costs:
The year-over-year comparison of the Group and Specialty segment's GAAP operating cost ratio was unfavorably affected by the following factors:
•the impact of membership declining at a greater rate than the decline in absolute administrative expenses within the segment leading to greater proportion of expense to fully-insured premiums and services revenues,
•a greater proportion of the segment's membership being associated with the company's ASO commercial and Military services businesses; each of which have a higher operating cost ratio than the fully-insured commercial product, and
•investments in the Military services business across demonstration programs, partners service contracts and in preparation for the next generation of the United States Department of Defense's TRICARE contracts, as well as investments in the company's specialty business to promote growth.

Group fully-insured commercial medical
The year-over-year and sequential declines reflect the impact of the company's pricing discipline to address COVID-19 and improve profitability.
Group ASO commercial medical
The year-over-year and sequential declines reflect continued intensified competition for small group accounts, partially offset by strong retention among large group accounts.
Specialty (f)
The year-over-year and sequential declines reflect the loss of dental and vision groups cross-sold with medical, as reflected in the loss of group fully-insured commercial medical discussed above. Current membership also reflects the impact of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Humana’s Healthcare Services Segment
This segment includes pharmacy, provider, and home services, along with other services and capabilities to promote wellness and advance population health. The operations of the recently acquired full ownership of Kindred at Home, as well as the company's strategic partnership with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (WCAS) to develop and operate senior-focused, payor-agnostic, primary care centers are also included in the Healthcare Services segment. Services offered by this segment are designed to enhance the overall healthcare experience. These services may lead to lower utilization associated with improved member health and/or lower drug costs.

Healthcare Services segment revenues:
Healthcare Services segment revenues in 1Q22 increased by $1.49 billion, or 21 percent, from segment revenues in 1Q21. The year-over-year quarterly comparison was favorably impacted by the following factors:
•the impact of Kindred at Home revenues (prior to the third quarter of 2021, Kindred at Home's results were non-consolidating reflective of Humana's minority ownership interest),
•the company's strong individual Medicare Advantage and state-based contracts membership growth leading to higher pharmacy revenues,
•impact of greater mail-order pharmacy penetration by retained members, and
•higher revenues associated with growth in the company's provider business.
Healthcare Services segment operating costs:
The year-over-year decline in the segment's operating cost ratio was primarily attributable to to the consolidation of Kindred at Home operations which have a lower operating cost ratio than other businesses within the segment, combined with a favorable impact to the ratio related to the company's pharmacy operations.

Consequently, management uses these non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures as indicators of the company’s business performance, as well as for operational planning and decision making purposes. Non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. All financial measures in this press release are in accordance with GAAP unless otherwise indicated. Please refer to the footnotes for a detailed description of each item adjusted out of GAAP financial measures to arrive at a non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measure.
(a) 1Q22 Adjusted results exclude the following:
•Amortization expense for identifiable intangibles of approximately $19 pretax, or $0.11 per diluted common share. GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax, EPS, and segment earnings (including amortization expense of $4 million in the Retail segment and $1 million in the Group and Specialty segment).
•Put/call valuation adjustments of approximately $21 million pretax, or $0.12 per diluted common share, associated with Humana’s non-consolidating minority interest investments. GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax and EPS.

Cautionary Statement
This news release includes forward-looking statements regarding Humana within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in investor presentations, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of Humana’s executive officers, the words or phrases like “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “likely will result,” “estimates,” “projects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s SEC filings, a summary of which includes but is not limited to the following:
•If Humana does not design and price its products properly and competitively, if the premiums Humana receives are insufficient to cover the cost of healthcare services delivered to its members, if the company is unable to implement clinical initiatives to provide a better healthcare experience for its members, lower costs and appropriately document the risk profile of its members, or if its estimates of benefits expense are inadequate, Humana’s profitability could be materially adversely affected. Humana estimates the costs of its benefit expense payments, and designs and prices its products accordingly, using actuarial methods and assumptions based upon, among other relevant factors, claim payment patterns, medical cost inflation, and historical developments such as claim inventory levels and claim receipt patterns. The company continually reviews estimates of future payments relating to benefit expenses for services incurred in the current and prior periods and makes necessary adjustments to its reserves, including premium deficiency reserves, where appropriate. These estimates involve extensive judgment, and have considerable inherent variability because they are extremely sensitive to changes in claim payment patterns and medical cost trends. Accordingly, Humana's reserves may be insufficient.
•If Humana fails to effectively implement its operational and strategic initiatives, particularly its Medicare initiatives and state-based contract strategy, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected, which is of particular importance given the concentration of the company’s revenues in these products. In addition, there can be no assurances that the company will be successful in maintaining or improving its Star ratings in future years.
•If Humana fails to properly maintain the integrity of its data, to strategically maintain existing or implement new information systems, to protect Humana’s proprietary rights to its systems, or to defend against cyber-security attacks or prevent other privacy or data security incidents that result in security breaches that disrupt the company's operations or in the unintentional dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected.
•Humana is involved in various legal actions, or disputes that could lead to legal actions (such as, among other things, provider contract disputes and qui tam litigation brought by individuals on behalf of the government), governmental and internal investigations, and routine internal review of business processes any of which, if resolved unfavorably to the company, could result in substantial monetary damages or changes in its business practices. Increased litigation and negative publicity could also increase the company’s cost of doing business.
•As a government contractor, Humana is exposed to risks that may materially adversely affect its business or its willingness or ability to participate in government healthcare programs including, among other things, loss of material government contracts; governmental audits and investigations; potential inadequacy of government determined payment rates; potential restrictions on profitability; including by comparison of profitability of the company’s Medicare Advantage business to non-Medicare Advantage business; or other changes in the governmental programs in which Humana participates. Changes to the risk-adjustment model utilized by CMS to adjust premiums paid to Medicare Advantage, or MA, plans according to the health status of covered members, including proposed changes to the methodology used by CMS for risk adjustment data validation audits that fail to address adequately the statutory requirement of actuarial equivalence, if implemented, could have a material adverse effect on the company's operating results, financial position and cash flows.
•Humana's business activities are subject to substantial government regulation. New laws or regulations, or legislative, judicial, or regulatory changes in existing laws or regulations or their manner of application could increase the company's cost of doing business and have a material adverse effect on Humana’s results of operations (including restricting revenue, enrollment and premium growth in certain products and market segments, restricting the company’s ability to expand into new markets, increasing the company’s medical and operating costs by, among other things, requiring a minimum benefit ratio on insured products, lowering the company’s Medicare payment rates and increasing the company’s expenses associated with a non-deductible health insurance industry fee and other assessments); the company’s financial position (including the company’s ability to maintain the value of its goodwill); and the company’s cash flows.
•Humana’s failure to manage acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully may have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
•If Humana fails to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with the providers of care to its members, the company’s business may be adversely affected.
•Humana faces significant competition in attracting and retaining talented employees. Further, managing succession for, and retention of, key executives is critical to the Company’s success, and its failure to do so could adversely affect the Company’s businesses, operating results and/or future performance.
•Humana’s pharmacy business is highly competitive and subjects it to regulations and supply chain risks in addition to those the company faces with its core health benefits businesses.
•Changes in the prescription drug industry pricing benchmarks may adversely affect Humana’s financial performance.
•Humana’s ability to obtain funds from certain of its licensed subsidiaries is restricted by state insurance regulations.
•Downgrades in Humana’s debt ratings, should they occur, may adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
•The securities and credit markets may experience volatility and disruption, which may adversely affect Humana’s business.
•The spread of, and response to, the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, underscores certain risks Humana faces, including those discussed above, and the ongoing, heightened uncertainty created by the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact to Humana of COVID-19.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the premiums the company charges may prove to be insufficient to cover the cost of health care services delivered to its members, each of which could be impacted by many factors, including the impacts that Humana has experienced, and may continue to experience, to its revenues due to limitations on its ability to implement clinical initiatives to manage health care costs and chronic conditions of its members, and appropriately document their risk profiles, as a result of the company’s members being unable or unwilling to see their providers due to actions taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19; increased costs that may result from higher utilization rates of medical facilities and services and other increases in associated hospital and pharmaceutical costs; and shifts in the company’s premium and medical claims cost trends to reflect the demographic impact of higher mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, Humana is offering, and has been mandated by legislative and regulatory action (including the Families First Act and CARES Act) to provide, certain
expanded benefit coverage to its members, such as waiving, or reimbursing, certain costs for COVID-19 testing, vaccinations and treatment. These measures taken by Humana, or governmental action, to respond to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 (including further expansion or modification of the services delivered to its members, the adoption or modification of regulatory requirements associated with those services and the costs and challenges associated with ensuring timely compliance with such requirements), and the potential for widespread testing, treatments and the distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccines, could adversely impact the company’s profitability.
The spread and impact of COVID-19 and additional variants, or actions taken to mitigate this spread, could have material and adverse effects on Humana’s ability to operate effectively, including as a result of the complete or partial closure of facilities or labor shortages. Disruptions in public and private infrastructure, including communications, availability of in-person sales and marketing channels, financial services and supply chains, could materially and adversely disrupt the company’s normal business operations. A significant subset of the company's and the company's third party providers' employee population are in a remote work environment in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, which may exacerbate certain risks to Humana’s business, including an increased demand for information technology resources, increased risk of phishing and other cybersecurity attacks, and increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal, proprietary, or confidential information. The continued COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity, including the businesses of some of Humana’s commercial customers, and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. In addition to disrupting Humana’s operations, these developments may adversely affect the timing of commercial customer premium collections and corresponding claim payments, the value of the company’s investment portfolio, or future liquidity needs.
The ongoing, heightened uncertainty created by the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact to Humana of COVID-19. Humana is continuing to monitor the spread of COVID-19, changes to the company’s benefit coverages, and the ongoing costs and business impacts of dealing with COVID-19, including the potential costs and impacts associated with lifting or reimposing restrictions on movement and economic activity, the timing and degree in resumption of demand for deferred healthcare services, the pace of administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the effectiveness of those vaccines, and related risks. The magnitude and duration of the pandemic remain uncertain, and its impact on Humana’s business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could be material.
In making forward-looking statements, Humana is not undertaking to address or update them in future filings or communications regarding its business or results. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed herein may or may not occur. There also may be other risks that the company is unable to predict at this time. Any of these risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Humana advises investors to read the following documents as filed by the company with the SEC for further discussion both of the risks it faces and its historical performance:
•Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021; and
•Form 8-Ks filed during 2022.

(K)In certain circumstances, the company contracts with providers to accept financial risk for a defined set of Medicare Advantage membership. In transferring this risk, the company prepays these providers a monthly fixed-fee per member to coordinate substantially all of the medical care for their Medicare Advantage members assigned or attributed to their provider panel, including some health benefit administrative functions and claims processing. For these capitated Shared Risk arrangements, the company generally agrees to payment rates that target a benefit expense ratio. The result is a high level of engagement on the part of the provider.
(L)A Path to Risk provider is one who has a high level of engagement and participates in one of Humana’s pay-for-performance programs (Model Practice or Medical Home) or has a risk contract in place with a trigger (future date or membership threshold) which has not yet been met. In addition to earning incentives, these providers may also have a shared savings component by which they can share in achieved surpluses when the actual cost of the medical services provided to patients assigned or attributed to their panel is less than the agreed upon medical expense target.
(M)Specialty per member per month is computed based on reported specialty premiums and average fully-insured specialty membership for the period. Included with specialty premiums are stop-loss ASO premiums.
(N)The amounts primarily reflect services revenues under the TRICARE East Region contract that generally are contracted on a per-member basis.
(O)Computed based on average membership for the period (i.e., monthly ending membership during the period divided by the number of months in the period).
(P)Script volume is presented on an adjusted 30-day equivalent basis. This includes all scripts processed by the Humana pharmacy benefit manager (PBM).
(Q)De novo refers to all new centers opened since 2020 under the WCAS joint venture. Wholly-owned refers to all centers outside the WCAS joint venture.
(R)Represents Medicare Advantage (MA) risk, MA path to risk, MA value-based, Direct Contracting Entity, and Accountable Care Organization patients.
(S)Reflects patient admissions under the Patient Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) payment model.
(T)Reflects all patient admissions regardless of reimbursement model.
(U)A common metric for monitoring benefits payable levels relative to benefits expense is days in claims payable (DCP). The company calculates DCP using the quarterly reported benefits expense and benefits payable balances as presented within the company’s consolidated financial statements.
(V)DCP fluctuates due to a number of factors, the more significant of which are detailed in this rollforward. Growth in certain product lines can also impact DCP for the quarter since a provision for claims would not have been recorded for members that had not yet enrolled earlier in the quarter, yet those members would have a provision and corresponding medical claims reserve recorded upon enrollment later in the quarter.
(W)Provider accruals represent portions of capitation payments set aside to pay future settlements for capitated providers. Related settlements generally happen over a 12-month period.
(X)Represents medical and specialty claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) for non-pharmacy fully-insured products.
(Y)Represents pharmacy claims expense including payments to the company’s pharmacy benefit manager for prescription drugs filled on behalf of Humana’s members, as well as government subsidized programs from Medicare Part D such as low income cost and reinsurance subsidies, as well as coverage gap discount programs.
(Z)Includes processed claims that are in the post claim adjudication process, which consists of operating functions such as audit, check batching and check handling. These claims are included in IBNR lags, but have not yet been mailed or released from Humana.
(AA)Includes non-lagged reserves such as ASO stop loss, life reserves, and accidental death and dismemberment/accident and health. Also includes an explicit provision for uncertainty (also called a provision for adverse deviation) intended to ensure the unpaid claim liabilities are adequate under moderately adverse conditions.
