 standard actuarial methodologies, which utilize historical data, including the period between the date services are rendered and the date claims are received and paid (the completion factor), per member per month healthcare cost trends, denied claims activity, expected medical cost inflation, seasonality patterns, changes in membership mix, and a provision for adverse deviation (“PAD”).

We identified the valuation of IBNR liability as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for this determination were the significant judgments involved in: (i) evaluating the actuarial methodologies used, (ii) estimating the completion factors and per member per month cost based on historical payment patterns and consideration of health care cost trend factors, and (iii) determining the appropriate level of PAD. Auditing these elements involved subjective auditor judgments due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized skills or knowledge needed.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

•Testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying reports used in estimating: (i) the completion factors by agreeing to underlying claims data and repricing certain claims, and (ii) the per member per month cost by agreeing to underlying claims data and confirming member information with health plans.

•Utilizing personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in actuarial methods to assist in: (i) evaluating the appropriateness and consistency of the actuarial methodologies used, (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the completion factors, per member per month healthcare cost trends factors, and the PAD used by the Company’s management and its actuarial specialist by comparing our independently determined IBNR estimate to management’s recorded IBNR liability, and (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of management’s prior period estimates using subsequent claims development.

Determination of the Premium Risk Adjustment Revenue

As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated capitated revenue included approximately $33.5 million of estimated premium risk adjustment revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024. Medicare pays capitation using a “risk adjustment model,” which compensates providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual patient, also known as the hierarchal condition categories (“HCC”). Medicare Advantage plans with higher acuity patients receive higher premiums. Conversely, Medicare Advantage plans with lower acuity patients receive lesser premiums. Under the risk adjustment model, capitation is paid on an interim basis based on enrollee data submitted for the preceding year and is adjusted in subsequent periods after final data is compiled
