Segments

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

We currently have two reportable segments: the Health Plans segment and the Other segment. Our reportable segments are consistent with how we currently manage the business and view the markets we serve.

Margin is the appropriate earnings measure for our reportable segments, based on how our chief operating decision maker currently reviews results, assesses performance, and allocates resources.

The key metrics used to assess the performance of our Health Plans segment are premium revenue, medical margin and MCR. MCR represents the amount of medical care costs as a percentage of premium revenue. Therefore, the underlying margin, or the amount earned by the Health Plans segment after medical costs are deducted from premium revenue, is the most important measure of earnings reviewed by management. Margin for our Health Plans segment is referred to as “Medical Margin.”

The following table presents total revenue by segment. Inter-segment revenue was insignificant for all periods presented.
