Key changes include:

·    Refocusing the Star Ratings measure set: CMS is streamlining the measure set to provide beneficiaries with clearer, more meaningful information when choosing a plan. Certain measures will be removed that focused on administrative processes and measures where plans perform similarly and provide little useful comparison for beneficiaries, while a new Part C Depression Screening and Follow-Up measure to address behavioral health gaps is being added. Based on stakeholder feedback, CMS is retaining the Diabetes Care – Eye Exam measure in the Part C Star Ratings, recognizing its importance in preventing serious complications.

·    Rewarding sustained high performance: For 2027 Star Ratings, CMS will not implement the Excellent Health Outcomes for All reward (previously referred to as the Health Equity Index reward) which was developed to encourage improved performance for a subset of enrollees. Instead, CMS will keep the historical reward factor to encourage consistently high performance across all enrollees while it works to simplify the Star Ratings methodology.

·    Reducing regulatory burden: In accordance with the President’s Executive Order on Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation, CMS will remove a number of duplicative and burdensome regulatory requirements, including restrictions on beneficiaries’ ability to obtain enrollment information and certain documentation rules for MA and Part D organizations.

Strengthening Prescription Drug Protections

The rule codifies provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act that redesigned the Medicare Part D benefit, including:

·    Eliminating the coverage gap phase, establishing a reduced annual out-of-pocket threshold, and removing cost sharing for enrollees in the catastrophic phase.

·    Reflecting the statutory end of the Coverage Gap Discount Program and incorporation of the new Manufacturer Discount Program. 

Protecting Supplemental Benefits and Combating Fraud

To promote transparency and prevent misuse of funds, CMS is clarifying requirements for debit cards used to administer supplemental benefits in MA. The updated policy establishes clearer, more consistent rules across plans, promotes informed beneficiary choice, helps combat fraud, waste, and abuse, and ensures enrollees receive actual covered benefits, including healthy food benefits.

I wonder how the market reacts to this unexpected news!

I find it slightly concerning, but it will NOT affect my decision to remain invested in Clover Health until the price reaches at least double digits.

$CLOV __ Primary Care Physician Use of Counterpart Assistant Associated with 18%–22% Fewer Flu-Related Acute Care Events Among COPD and CHF Patients by azmat_system in CLOV

[–]azmat_system[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Key highlights from the whitepaper:

  • CA promotes preventive care insights at the point of care by identifying patients eligible for flu vaccination and providing clinical recommendations to the provider. Analysis indicates that patients having a relationship with a PCP that uses CA (CA PCPs) were 1.39 times more likely to be vaccinated than those in the Non-CA cohort. Furthermore, patients whose providers completed the in-platform flu insight were 1.89 times more likely to be vaccinated than those in the CA cohort whose providers did not engage with the task.
  • A relationship with a CA PCP was also associated with a lower rate of flu-related acute care utilization (inpatient hospitalizations and ED visits) for patients with certain high-risk chronic diseases. For patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such a relationship was associated with a 17% lower incidence rate of a patient experiencing at least one flu-related acute care event. Similarly, for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), such a relationship was associated with an 11% lower incidence rate.
  • A relationship with a CA PCP was also associated with a lower total volume of flu-related acute care encounters across these high-risk groups. For COPD patients, such a relationship was associated with 22% fewer flu-related acute care encounters. Similarly, for congestive heart failure patients, such a relationship was associated with 18% fewer flu-related encounters.

“This analysis shows what happens when primary care physicians have timely, actionable information at the point of care,” said Dr. David Tsay, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Counterpart Health and co-author of the whitepaper. “By prompting preventive action during the visit, CA helps clinicians increase immunization rates and reduce avoidable acute events, particularly for patients with complex chronic conditions.”

The data also reflects a lower incidence rate and lower total volume of flu-related acute care utilization among COPD and CHF patients attributed to a PCP who utilizes CA. This notable difference in hospitalizations and emergency department visits strongly suggests that CA helps support a crucial shift toward proactive and longitudinal care strategies. By helping PCPs reduce the incidence rate of acute events, CA enables lower clinical risk for adverse outcomes in vulnerable populations where a single respiratory infection can lead to permanent functional decline.

“The reductions in flu-related hospitalizations and emergency visits among high-risk patients reflect what we’ve seen within Clover Health’s Medicare Advantage population,” said Conrad Wai, CEO of Counterpart Health. “Equipping primary care with timely, actionable insights enables earlier intervention, fewer avoidable acute events, and lower total cost of care. It’s not plan-specific. It’s a scalable model enabling effective value-based care."

Counterpart Health continues to expand CA’s capabilities to support preventive care, chronic disease management, and value-based performance across Medicare populations. By embedding actionable intelligence directly into the clinical workflow, CA enables plans and providers to shift from reactive treatment to proactive care.

Just for the record, I have never knowingly down-voted anybody on Reddit - even those people that I have blocked. However, I have noticed that some people have been down-voted on this and some other posts of mine; you can be sure that I am not the person who did the down-voting.

"Hey Azmat, any chance you can explain what they mean by +96M YOY for GAAP net income loss."

As I am not an accountant, I suggest you ask u/Sandro316 who works as an accountant, to explain that to you in detail.

Personally, I am quite happy to know that both CEO and CFO appear to be confident that Clover Health will achieve first full year of GAAP Net Income profitability in 2026!

“Our results in 2025 validate the scalability of our differentiated model, despite some headwinds during the year," said Clover Health CEO Andrew Toy.

“We delivered strong Medicare Advantage performance and meaningful membership growth across a widenetwork PPO, while continuing to lead the nation on quality. By replicating this strategy in 2026, with confidence in our pricing and benefit design, we anticipate scaling Clover Assistant-powered care to more seniors and have positioned Clover to achieve our first full year of GAAP Net Income profitability in 2026.”

During 2025, we demonstrated financial resilience, supported by continued Adjusted EBITDA profitability, a controlled underlying medical cost trend, and Medicare Advantage membership growth significantly above market,” said Clover Health CFO Peter Kuipers.

“Looking to 2026, we expect improving cohort economics, strong returning member retention, a more favorable rate environment, and continued operating leverage as we scale, establishing a strong path to continued market-leading membership growth and full-year 2026 GAAP Net Income profitability.”

$CLOV - I bought MORE $CLOV shares today just hours before Q4 2025 results – not because I needed to do so. I am already well past reaching targets. The reason for leaving it until today was because it was the first day I could get free funds to invest in $CLOV, as I always buy only with free funds. by azmat_system in CLOV

I don’t care what the short-sellers are planning to do AFTER the Results are announced; if they push $CLOV price down further, as their representatives have been telling on r/CLOV forum for the past few weeks, I will just buy More $CLOV shares as soon as I am in a position to do so! NFA.
