CVS refrained from providing guidance for 2024 amid challenges at Aetna, particularly in Medicare Advantage, where poor star ratings and high medical costs have pressured the insurer. CEO David Joyner emphasized a commitment to long-term recovery, supported by leadership changes, including the appointment of former UnitedHealthcare CEO Steve Nelson. While CVS anticipates a transition year in 2025, it remains focused on addressing underlying issues to improve Aetna's performance.
CVS Health reported a 6.3% revenue increase to $95.4 billion in Q3, despite challenges in its health benefits segment led by Aetna, which faced a $924 million adjusted operating income loss. Aetna's revenues rose to $33 billion, but high medical costs and utilization pressures hindered performance. CEO David Joyner expressed optimism for recovery with new leadership in place.
Aetna, part of CVS Health, has launched SimplePay Health, a new health plan designed for self-insured clients that simplifies the member experience and reduces costs. The plan features a bundled payment model, allowing members to pay a copay for all covered services, with no deductibles or co-insurance, and provides a single monthly statement summarizing claims. Internal data indicates a 60% increase in the use of high-quality providers and a 12% reduction in total care costs for employers and members.
Karen Lynch has stepped down as President and CEO of CVS Health, replaced by David Joyner, effective October 17, following disappointing preliminary financial guidance for Q3. The company faces ongoing challenges with elevated medical costs, leading to significant restructuring charges and a 13% drop in shares. Joyner, with extensive healthcare experience, aims to lead CVS through these difficulties while acknowledging Lynch's contributions during her tenure.
CVS Health is considering a potential break-up of its retail and insurance units as it seeks to improve its performance amid investor pressure. Discussions with financial advisers and the board are ongoing, with options including the future of its pharmacy benefits manager unit. The company faces challenges, including rising medical costs and a significant drop in share value this year, prompting a $1 billion cost-cutting plan.
