SEP Market Dynamics, Developments, and Trends During the year ended December 31, 2024, the increase in our membership was due in part to an increase in member enrollments through SEP which impacted our MLR.
The impact of the federal risk adjustment program is included in the denominator of our MLR. We believe MLR is an important metric to demonstrate the ratio of our costs to pay for healthcare of our members to the net premium before ceded quota share reinsurance.

There is a higher degree of uncertainty associated with estimates of risk adjustment transfers at the beginning of the policy year resulting from composition of the risk score being based on concurrent claim data.
There is a higher degree of uncertainty associated with estimates of risk adjustment transfers earlier in the policy year or, in the case of SEP driven enrollment, throughout the policy year, resulting from the fact that risk scores are based on lagged claim data.
Our medical expenses are impacted by seasonal effects of medical costs, such as the utilization of deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums over the course of the policy year, which shift more costs to us in the second half of the year as we pay a higher proportion of covered claims costs, and the number of days and holidays in a given period.
Actual risk adjustment calculations and transfers have in the past materially differed, and could materially differ in the future, from our assumptions. 67 Table of Contents Claims Incurred Our medical expenses are impacted by unit costs and utilization, as well as seasonal effects on medical costs, as members pay their contractual claims portion of claims responsibility, meeting their deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums over the course of the policy year, which shift more costs to us in the second half of the year as we pay a higher proportion of covered claims costs.
