Medicare Advantage funding pressure has led UnitedHealthcare to adjust benefits, pricing, provider networks and county-level plan participation, contributing to continued membership contraction. Optum Health’s fully accountable value-based care businesses are experiencing similar funding and medical cost pressures, resulting in market exits and fewer people served under value-based arrangements. Medicaid has experienced elevated behavioral, pharmacy and home health care activity while state rate updates have lagged changes in member health status and costs. Medicaid membership declined in the first half of 2026 following an exit from one state and reduced eligibility.
