On Monday, the U.S. Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) released its 2026 payment update for Medicare Advantage (MA) and Medicare Part D <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">prescription drug plans</a>.
Government <a href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cms-finalizes-2026-payment-policy-updates-medicare-advantage-and-part-d-programs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">payments</a> to Medicare Advantage plans are expected to rise by an average of 5.06% from 2025 to 2026. That&#8217;s 2.83 percentage points higher than what was estimated in a previous notice. 
The new effective growth rate is 9.04%, up from the earlier estimate of 5.93%.
The increase comes from updated data on traditional Medicare (fee-for-service) spending. This includes figures from late 2024 that weren&#8217;t available when the earlier notice was published.

CMS also began a three-year plan in 2024 to remove medical education costs from the fee-for-service spending data for setting MA rates. For 2026, CMS will fully implement this adjustment.
In addition, CMS is continuing a three-year rollout of changes to how it adjusts payments based on enrollee health risks, a process that began in 2024.
According to William Blair, the better-than-expected rate update is a &#8220;clear positive&#8221; for Medicare Advantage. The managed care group struggles to maintain medical loss ratios. 
In William Blair&#8217;s coverage, Alignment Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALHC#NASDAQ">ALHC</a>) is most directly impacted. Analyst Ryan Daniels also sees favorable implications for the broader value-based care universe.
&#8220;In particular, we believe that our covered advanced primary care (APC) companies are set to benefit from these improving MA trends,&#8221; analyst Daniels writes.
William Blair writes that notable players focusing solely on the MA market include Agilon Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGL#NYSE">AGL</a>) and P3 Health Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PIII#NASDAQ">PIII</a>).
&#8220;Other VBC names, with broader payer exposure (typically working with all payer types, though still caring for MA patients) could also benefit from better industry trends,&#8221; William Blair writes.
The analyst notes some players, including Privia Health Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRVA#NASDAQ">PRVA</a>), Astrana Health Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTH#NASDAQ">ASTH</a>), and Evolent Health, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVH#NYSE">EVH</a>).
Price Action: ALHC stock is up 10.5% at $19.69 during the premarket session at the last check Tuesday.
