Medicare Advantage (MA) growth has broadly slowed, but the biggest players in this space continue to claim the lion’s share of this expansion, according to a new report from healthcare consultant Chartis.
The analysis found that 1.7 million lives were added to the MA rolls for the 2024 plan year, and, of those, 1.4 million, or 86%, were captured by the three largest insurers in this segment: UnitedHealthcare, Humana and Aetna. Aetna, in particular, had a strong showing during the annual enrollment period, adding 476,000 enrollees, or 60% of those who signed up during that window.

COLUMBUS — Ohio Department of Insurance Director Judith L. French warns Ohioans on Medicare to watch for fraudulent Medicare claims made with their Medicare numbers for medical supplies, most notably urinary catheters, back and knee braces, and glucose monitors.
The scammers are using individuals’ Medicare numbers and fraudulently billing Medicare, oftentimes thousands of dollars per fraudulent claim. Affected individuals are not impacted financially but face a confusing and stressful situation, including obtaining a new number and card from Medicare and possible complications in receiving legitimate medical supplies in the future.
Red flags to watch for:
• You do not recognize the ordering physician’s name nor have you been seen by the physician.
• The ordering physician is located in another state.
• You receive an Explanation of Benefits document or Medicare Summary Notice document with a large quantity of supplies you have never received.
• You do not have a medical condition that would require the supplies.
Ohioans who have been affected by this Medicare scam should contact the Ohio Senior Medicare Patrol at 800-293-4767 or go to proseniors.org to report the scam and get help obtaining a new Medicare number and card.
Ohioans with Medicare questions can contact the Ohio Department of Insurance’s Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) at 800-686-1578, oshiipmail@insurance.ohio.gov, and insurance.ohio.gov. OSHIIP is the state’s official Medicare educational and counseling program.
