US managed care insurers saw a notable bump to their stock prices this week following news of higher than anticipated Medicare Advantage rates for 2027. On April 6, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services approved a net average rate increase of 2.48%, representing more than $13 billion in additional Medicare Advantage payments to plans for calendar year 2027.

The U.S. government confirmed it will raise 2027 Medicare Advantage and Part D payments by an average of 2.48%, Reuters reported. CMS officials also said insurers will receive an additional 2.5% uplift tied to adjustments in risk‑scoring formulas, bringing the effective increase to roughly 5%.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the 2027 Medicare Advantage payment rate at a +2.48% net average increase, well above the +0.09% proposed in January and above the roughly 1% street expectation.

U.S. stocks traded lower midway through trading, with the Nasdaq Composite falling more than 1% on Tuesday.
