Health insurance companies selling private Medicare Advantage plans in the US would see a greater increase in payments in 2026 than in the current year if a proposal released Friday is adopted by the incoming Trump administration.

The U.S. government on Friday proposed 2026 reimbursement rates for Medicare Advantage plans run by private insurers that will result in a 2.2% increase in payments, compared with a decline of 0.2% last year.

The Biden administration’s final regulation affecting the Medicare Advantage industry would come with a much lighter touch than the past two years.

The Better Medicare Alliance urged President-elect Donald Trump to reconsider these Medicare Advantage policies once he takes office.

Shares of health insurers advanced Friday after the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced it has proposed raising government payments to Medicare Advantage plans by an average of $4.
