Robust plan benefits powered member growth, mainly driven by switchers from other plans
Company will focus on balancing profitability with strategic investments in growth and technology to take advantage of strong market opportunity
~95% of Clover’s January 1, 2025 membership is in its flagship 4 Star PPO plan
WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clover Health Investments, Corp. (Nasdaq: CLOV) (“Clover,” “Clover Health” or the “Company”), today announced a 27% year-over-year growth of its Medicare Advantage (MA) membership during the most recent Annual Election Period (AEP). The Company enters 2025 with over 100,000 members, approximately 95% of whom are enrolled in Clover’s flagship 4-Star PPO plan.
“Driven by robust plan benefits and our 4 Star rating, we’ve delivered exceptional member growth, and I feel honored to bring so many new people into our unique model of care,” said Andrew Toy, CEO of Clover Health. “We invest deeply in using technology to improve clinical outcomes through the earlier identification, management and treatment of chronic disease, a clear differentiator from our peers. Looking forward, we will take advantage of the strong market opportunity in front of us, by making strategic investments in growth as well as continuing to widen our AI-powered technology moat.”
Clover’s 4-Star rating PPO plan reflects the Company’s deep investment in care quality, with top performance across key HEDIS measures—an industry standard for healthcare quality. This achievement also positions Clover for an anticipated 5% benchmark increase in payment year 2026 (PY26), strengthening the company’s ability to reinvest in improving benefits and further accelerating membership growth.
Jamie Reynoso, CEO of Medicare Advantage at Clover Health, added: “Our foundational investments over the last few years—ranging from enhanced care management to operational efficiencies—are paying off. Keeping a keen focus on improving the health of our members, by being an active participant in their care management, Clover is in an incredibly strong position to continue this above-market growth trajectory while of course maintaining profitability. Our strong membership growth, coupled with the expected 2026 tailwinds of our 4-Star rating and increasing impact of our integrated care model, positions Clover for long-term Medicare Advantage success. We’re excited to keep pushing forward.”
