Medicare Advantage enrollment grew by about 257,000 lives during
the 2021 Open Enrollment Period (OEP), according to CMS’s May data release and
AIS's Directory of Health Plans. As in the Annual Election Period (AEP),
UnitedHealthcare dominated, holding about 32% of the overall OEP gains. Still,
there were some shakeups among the other largest MA payers. In terms of
membership gains, Centene Corp. (including enrollment from its WellCare brands)
jumped from the No. 4 spot in the AEP to the No. 2 spot in the OEP, while
Kaiser Permanente rose from No. 7 to No. 5. Cigna Corp., meanwhile, lost much
of its momentum from the AEP, dropping from No. 9 to No. 20. See the top 25 OEP
performers, plus their AEP results and current enrollment, in the chart below.
NOTES: AEP Results = Enrollment change from October 2020 to
February 2021; OEP Results = Enrollment change from February 2021 to May 2021.
