美國撤回對UnitedHealth的上訴,星級評分再度重算




美國放棄對UnitedHealth Medicare計劃評級的上訴

(路透社)- 美國醫療保健和醫療補助服務中心(CMS)於週五表示,將不會對法院命令進行上訴,該命令要求CMS重新計算其對UnitedHealth私營管理的Medicare健康保險計劃給予的公共星級評級。UnitedHealth表示,這將令其損失數百萬美元的客戶。

該機構並未說明為何在僅三天前提出的上訴通知被撤回,目前尚不清楚這一舉措是否屬於特朗普新政府的更廣泛政策變化。

由於特朗普政府下令健康機構暫停公共溝通,CMS拒絕發表評論。UnitedHealth則沒有立即回應評論請求。

這起訴訟涉及UnitedHealth的Medicare優勢計劃,這些計劃是由聯邦Medicare計劃資助的私營管理健康保險計劃,主要針對65歲及以上的老年人以及某些殘疾美國人。

CMS為Medicare優勢計劃分配1至5顆星的評級,以幫助消費者在計劃之間做出選擇。UnitedHealth在其訴訟中表示,由於CMS測試撥打者尋求外語翻譯的單次不成功通話,其某些Medicare優勢計劃失去了半顆星的評級。

UnitedHealth表示,CMS在根據單次通話降低星級評級的做法上是任意和草率的,並指出測試撥打者的錯誤導致未能與代表取得聯繫。

德克薩斯州的一名聯邦法官在11月同意了這一觀點,並命令CMS重新計算星級評級。

其他保險公司,包括Elevance、Centene和Humana,也已就其所稱的不公平星級評級起訴CMS。

此前,CMS已在失去法院裁決後,重新計算了Elevance和非營利組織SCAN Health Plans的Medicare優勢計劃的星級評級。

UnitedHealth Group的股價上漲約0.6%,達到532.86美元。

分析評論:

這一事件不僅影響UnitedHealth的財務狀況,還可能引發對整個Medicare優勢計劃評級系統的重新審視。CMS的星級評級系統原本旨在幫助消費者選擇更合適的保險計劃,但如果評級的依據過於隨意或不充分,將會削弱其公信力和有效性。此外,這一事件也突顯了在醫療保險市場中,保險公司與監管機構之間的緊張關係,特別是在政策變動的背景下,未來可能會有更多類似的爭議出現。這對於其他保險公司來說也是一個警示,因為它們面臨著相似的評級挑戰,將需要更加謹慎地管理與CMS的關係。

Two playful cats, one sleek black and one fluffy ginger, are joyfully interacting on a bustling Hong Kong street at sunset. They leap and tumble among vivid neon signs, glowing red lanterns, and traditional market stalls. The scene is bustling with locals and dotted with elements of Hong Kong architecture, such as narrow alleyways, decorative shopfronts, and overhead laundry lines. Warm golden light reflects off the wet cobblestone street, casting dramatic shadows. The atmosphere is lively yet whimsical, capturing the vibrant urban spirit and blending realistic feline anatomy with a touch of enchanting artistry. Rendered in hyper-detailed, cinematic style with rich colors and dynamic composition. The person from the reference photo ( keep the face of the person 100% accurate from the reference image ) relaxing on a fluffy, glowing cloud high above the sky, surrounded by soft golden sunlight and vast layers of clouds stretching to the horizon. the person is lying back comfortably with a pillow, wearing a dark long-sleeve shirt, olive green pants, holding a book in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. the lighting is cinematic and warm, capturing the golden hour ambiance with radiant highlights and gentle shadows across the clouds. captured with a wide-angle lens at medium depth of field, balancing focus between the subject and the surrounding dreamy sky. the overall atmosphere is surreal and serene, blending realism with fantasy in a peaceful, imaginative setting. An ultra realistic portrait of a young man (facial detail 100% matches with the reference photo) relaxing on a wooden balcony with a scenic view of green mountains in the background. Golden-hour sunlight from the left side creates a warm glow, soft highlights on his hair and shoulders, and a subtle sun flare. He is wearing a black t-shirt in a white shirt with long sleeve, a black ripped jeans and black white sport shoes. his short straight hair is blowing by the morning wind. He sits with his body slightly angled, shoulders turned to the right side of the frame, one leg casually folded up onto the chair.

He holds a white cup emitting light steam, suggesting a freshly made hot drink. His face turns gently to the right with a subtle, relaxed smile, giving a calm and peaceful expression. The environment is an outdoor highland area with silhouettes of hills and trees in the distance, softly darkened by the backlit sunlight.

Camera angle is low angle level but slightly from the left side, creating a natural and intimate framing. Background is softly blurred with shallow depth of field, using a wide-aperture lens. Warm, earthy, soft color tones
