Mark Farrah Associates (MFA) assessed the latest year-over-year enrollment trends, comparing second quarter 2017 with second quarter 2018 segment membership based on data filed in statutory financial reports from the NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) and the CA DMHC (California Department of Managed Health Care). As of June 30, 2018, 264.1 million people received medical coverage from U.S. health insurers. This number is down from 264.7 million or approximately 660,000 members, from a year ago. Mid-year enrollment trends indicated continued membership gains for Medicare Advantage (MA) while Managed Medicaid, Individual, and Employer-Group risk business experienced year-over-year declines. Employer-Group ASO (administrative services only for self-funded plans) business remained relatively flat between 2Q17 and 2Q18.
