Exhibit 99.1 · the passage around this item
… earlier in the release
• The higher medical trends are being driven by both an increase in units consumed and rapidly rising costs per patient encounter, which includes both the unit cost and the number, type and intensity of services being delivered having increased well beyond the pricing and benefit design considerations established last year. For example, medical cost trend in Medicare Advantage offerings is expected to run at ~7.5% in 2025 compared to the 2025 pricing expectation of just over 5%. The pricing and benefit designs for 2026 anticipate these trends to continue to accelerate meaningfully to nearly 10%. UnitedHealthcare is committed to providing high-quality, affordable health offerings for the people it serves and is working to deliver effective solutions in the current, unprecedented medical cost trend environment.
