Elevance Health, Inc. is reaffirming its outlook for 2026 despite potential Medicare sanctions. Company officers plan to tell investors that adjusted shareholders’ earnings for full year 2026 are expected to be at least $25.50 per diluted share. They are also reaffirming a 2026 benefit expense ratio guidance of 90.2% plus or minus 50 basis points, which reflects expected medical costs as a share of premium revenue.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has notified the company of its intent to impose intermediate sanctions on certain Medicare Advantage-Prescription Drug plans effective March 31, 2026, unless identified issues are resolved. The reaffirmed earnings and benefit expense ratio guidance already incorporates the potential impact of these sanctions, if imposed. Elevance Health states it cannot reasonably estimate any potential financial payments to resolve this matter, so it is not providing a reconciliation from adjusted earnings per diluted share to the comparable GAAP measure.
