309: Regional health plans attempt a financial turnaround
<p>For years, regional health plans benefited from powerful tailwinds: Medicare Advantage growth, Medicaid expansion, and a prospering ACA marketplace. But many of those growth engines have stalled, just as new pressures emerged: rising utilization, runaway spend, pricing uncertainty and more scrutiny from patients and policy makers. The result is a dramatically different financial reality for health plans. In 2024, only eight of 33 Blues plans reported positive operating margins.</p> <p>In this episode, host Rae Woods sits down with Jared Landis, Vice President of Advisory Board's Health Plan Research practice, to unpack how regional plans got here and the three-year turnaround strategy regional and Blues plans are now pursuing.</p> <p>Together, they explore the market forces that upended the payer playbook, the operational and pricing changes plans are making to stabilize performance, and how AI-enabled transformation could reshape the future of the insurance business.</p> <p>Stay tuned to the end of the episode for an update on the Rural Health Transformation Program, including a key deadline this fall.</p> <p><b>We’re here to help:</b></p> <ul> <li><b>Episode</b> | <a href="https://www.advisory.com/radio-advisory/257?utm_SFGOCampaignID=701VV00000f2HjZYAU&utm_campaign=2613&utm_medium=PC&utm_source=radioadvisory&utm_content=ep309_2026_description" rel="nofollow noopener">Ep. 257: Paul Markovich on new builds, breakups, and bold healthcare bets</a></li> <li><b>Episode</b> | <a href="https://www.advisory.com/radio-advisory/305?utm_SFGOCampaignID=701VV00000f2HjZYAU&utm_campaign=2613&utm_medium=PC&utm_source=radioadvisory&utm_content=ep309_2026_description" rel="nofollow noopener">305: “The work isn’t easy, but it’s clear”: How healthcare leaders are responding to the market</a></li> <li><b>Episode</b> | <a href="https://www.advisory.com/radio-advisory/302?utm_SFGOCampaignID=701VV00000f2HjZYAU&utm_campaign=2613&utm_medium=PC&utm_source=radioadvisory&utm_content=ep309_2026_description" rel="nofollow noopener">302: CMS announced the 2027 MA final rate.
