Humana says 20% of members in 4 stars or above MA plans for 2026

Humana (HUM) disclosed that based on preliminary 2026 Medicare Advantage Star Ratings data provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which was inadvertently accessible on CMS Plan Finder for a period of time on October 1, 2025, Humana has approximately 1.2M or 20%, of its members currently enrolled in plans rated 4 stars and above for 2026, with an average Star rating of 3.61, consistent with the company’s 2025 average MA Star Rating. The company also has 14% of members in 4.5 star plans in 2026, up from 3% in 2025. “Importantly, the Company’s preliminary 2026 MA Star Ratings are generally in line with the assumptions utilized in its multiyear financial planning. As a result, there is no change to the 2025 to 2028 incremental earnings potential detail shared at the Company’s 2025 Investor Conference on June 16, 2025,” Humana said in a regulatory filing.
