United group On Tuesday, the 2025 forecasts are issued less than Wall Street’s expectations, as the company’s insurance unit continues to deal with higher medical costs.

The United Health Group shares decreased by approximately 4 % in trading on Tuesday morning.

The company expects that it will publish 2025 modified profits of at least $ 16 per share, as the revenue of 445.5 billion dollars to 448 billion dollars. The Wall Street analysts expected a rate of $ 20.91 per share, and the entire year’s revenue is 449.16 billion dollars, according to unanimity estimates from LSEG.

Tim Noel, CEO of UNITEDHEALTHCARE, said: In addition to the higher medical costs, the updated expectations remove about one billion dollars of “previously planned portfolio procedures” that the company is no longer following. No details about these procedures.

UNITEDHELHELHELTH GROUP said it expects to return to the growth of profits in 2026.

The stock declined in May after the company This guidance was suspended 2025 Because of the high medical costs, he announced the sudden exit of former CEO Andrew Weati. The report adds on Tuesday to An increasing chain of setbacks For the company, which owns the largest and strongest insurance company in the country, UNITEDHEALTHCARE, is often seen as the bell in the industry.

The company expects the 2025 medical care rate for the insurance unit – a scale of the total paid medical expenses for the collected installments – ranging between 89 % and 89.5 %. The low percentage usually indicates that the company was collected in larger installments than the advantages, which leads to high profitability.

For the second quarter, this percentage increased to 89.4 % of 85.1 % during the period of the year, in the first place due to medical costs. The company said that health care expenses during the quarter rose much faster than it was receiving in insurance premiums. Moreover, medical care financing discounts made things worse.

Analysts expected the percentage to come by 89.3 % for a quarter, according to estimates of street street.

The UNITEDHELHELHELHELTH GROUP report indicates that the high medical costs of Medicare Advantage plans may not be ease any time soon for the wider health insurance industry. UNITEDHEALTHCARE, the UNITEDHEALTH group, is the largest provider in the country for those medical care plans managed by the private sector.

The highest expenditures in Medicare Advantage plans are exposed to insurance companies over the past year, where more elderly people return to hospitals for undergoing procedures during the Covid-19s, such as joint and hip alternatives.

Noel said during the call: “When we prepared our offers for 2025 Medicare Advantage in the first half of 2024, we greatly reduced the accelerated medical trend and did not adjust the benefits or planning offers enough to compensate for the pressures we face now.”

Noel said that the external doctor and patients are collecting 70 % of the pressure on medical costs so far this year. He added that the care of internal patients has also accelerated during the second quarter, and the company expects to explain a “relatively large part of pressure” during the full year.

Noel said that UNITEDHEALTHCARE continues to see more patients using ER and set up monitoring, with more services and assembling them as part of each visit.

Here’s what UNITEDHELHELH GROUP told for the second quarter compared to what Wall Street expected, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG:

This part includes Optum Health, which provides care and recommends service providers, and Optum RX Pharmacy Director.

Despite the high medical costs, UNITEDHEALTHCARE achieved $ 86.1 billion of revenues for the second quarter, an increase of 17 % of the same last period. Street Street estimates said that UNITEDHEALTHCARE expects to reserve UNIDHEALTHARE 84.89 billion dollars for this period.

While the OPTUM RX revenues jumped nearly 19 % to 38.46 billion dollars, OPTUM Health revenues in the second quarter decreased by 7 % on an annual basis to $ 25.21 billion. The company’s ownership of the insurance company, the director of pharmacy benefits and its sponsorships allowed to control the industry, but a decrease in OPTUM Health has caught the attention of Wall Street.

“We know that the performance of OPTUM did not meet the expectations. We have been re -focused on the basic implementation to ensure that we are our potential to help make the health system work better for all,” said Dr. Patrick Conway, CEO of OPTUM.

The company expects that the total OPTUM unit operates 2025 sales from 266 billion dollars to 265.7 billion dollars.

Noel said on Tuesday that the company expanded its efforts to monitor its commercial practices and prevent additional costs for consumers.

“We have intensified audit tools, clinical policy and our payment safety to protect customers and patients from unnecessary costs,” he said, adding that the company uses artificial intelligence tools to improve patient service experiences and service provider and save costs.

During the profit call, the new CEO of the United Holth Group, Stephen Hammelli, admitted that the company and other insurance companies face “continuous general controversy over long -term practices.”

He added that behind the “environmental factors” that affect the entire sector, “We have committed pricing and operating errors, and others as well.”

“They are getting the required attention. Our decisive operations, including the state of risk, care management, medicine services and others, are reviewed by independent experts and they will be reviewed every year and reported,” he said. “These operations can be reviewed at any time by external stakeholders.

Hemsli said that these experts include the analysis group and FTI Consulting. He added that the company expects the review to be completed by the end of the third quarter of this year, with plans to issue a preliminary report on the results in the fourth quarter.

He added: “While we believe in our supervision and the integrity of these operations, wherever they are designed for different practice, they will be treated immediately and we will continue in this path.”
