美国联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)周四宣布将对联邦医保优势计划采取更“严格”的审计措施后,Humana(HUM)及其他医疗保险公司股价应声下挫。
该监管机构表示将“大幅扩大”审计范围,对所有符合资质的医保优势计划合约实施年度审计,并将投入更多资源加快审计进程。
CMS局长穆罕默德·奥兹表示:“我们决心根除所有联邦医疗计划中的欺诈、浪费和滥用行为。虽然政府认可医保优势计划的价值,但现在是CMS切实履行审计职责的时候了。”
主营医保优势计划的Humana股价跌幅超过4%。安泰保险母公司CVS健康(CVS)、联合健康集团(UNH)和信诺保险(CI)股价均下跌约2%。联合健康在社交媒体X上发文称“欢迎CMS实施年度审计计划”,而Humana、CVS和信诺均未立即回应置评请求。
联合健康受到特别关注,此前有报道称该公司涉嫌向养老院支付秘密奖金以减少住院转诊并降低成本,并且市场担忧联邦医保可能面临资金削减。
