March Update: February 2026 Medicare Enrollment Posted

DHP last month posted the first monthly 2026 Public-Sector Plan Enrollment report to your subscriber dashboard; this report features the first glimpse into 2026 Medicare Advantage (MA) membership. This report contains February 2026 numbers, as CMS released both January and February files at the same time, after a month-long delay.

In the meantime, public companies continued to release their fourth-quarter 2025 financial results and discussed their membership outlook for 2026. Recent newsfeed topics include:
