How to check this claim
Look at: Annualized 2026 rate impact (rate increases) as disclosed by the company
It came true if: Annualized 2026 rate impact between 6% and 7%
Where: Management commentary on earnings calls (2026 quarterly calls) or company disclosures on rate actions
In context
“Bobby: On an aggregate year-to-date rate actions through 7/1 accounting for approximately 80% of our annual revenue, we're within our expected forecast. We continue to work with our state partners on on-cycle and off-cycle rate actions, and are in active conversations for our 9/1 and 10/1 rates. We continue to believe annualized 2026 rate impacts will be in the zone of around 6%-7%, and still lagging elevated medical trend. Overall, our 2026 margins will be within our previously communicated range, as you've indicated, -1% to -1.7%, and we expect to hit that expectation for the year. Thank you for the question.”
