In context
“caid rates so far in 2025 that more closely align with underlying member acuity, but funding remains insufficient to meet the health needs of patients. Commercial self-funded membership increased by approximately $700,000 in the first quarter, a result of our continued strong product innovation. Commercial insured membership was impacted by the individual exchange products. Our disciplined pricing approach remains consistent and as a result, we experienced some member attrition. Overall in our commercial book, we are encouraged by the early ’26 selling season indications, which are showing strong retention rates. Turning to Optum. At Optum Health, we continue to expect to add 650,000 new value based care patients this year. We're working to engage with these new members ever more rapidly. By the end of ’25, we expect to have about 5.4 million value based care patients. At Optum Insight, we have a pipeline of new products coming to market this year with exceptional customer interest. For example, in the first quarter, we launched AI powered claims efficiency tools that increase productivity by over 20% for our revenue cycle management customers. Lastly, Optum Rx revenues grew 14%, exceeding $35 billion for the quarter. Both customer retention and new customer wins contributed to script growth of 3%. As Andrew noted, performance in the quarter was below the standards we expect. But with disciplined and urgent execution and attention to detail, we expect a return to form in the quarters ahead. With that, I'll hand it back to Andrew. Andrew Witty : Thanks, John. Even with the growth of our -- I'm sorry. Even with the growth our people generated this quarter”
