Humana to exit Marketplaces in 2018

Humana this week announced plans to withdraw from the Health Insurance Marketplaces in 2018. “[B]ased on its initial analysis of data associated with the company’s health care exchange membership following the 2017 open enrollment period, Humana is seeing further signs of an unbalanced risk pool,” the insurer said. “Therefore, the company has decided that it cannot continue to offer this coverage for 2018. Through the remainder of 2017, Humana remains committed to serving its current members across 11 states where it offers individual commercial products. And, as it has done in the past, Humana will work closely with its state partners as it navigates this process.”
