DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This report, including, without limitation, the information set forth or incorporated by reference under Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and other risks and uncertainties set forth in this report and oral statements made from time to time by our executive officers contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, known as the PSLRA. Statements in this report that are not historical facts are hereby identified as forward-looking statements and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the PSLRA. They can be identified by the use of the words "believe," "expect," "predict," "project," "potential," "estimate," "anticipate," "should," "intend," "may," "will" and similar expressions or variations of such words, or by discussion of future financial results and events, strategy or risks and uncertainties, trends and conditions in the Company's business and competitive strengths, all of which involve risks and uncertainties.

        Where, in any forward-looking statement, we or our management expresses an expectation or belief as to future results or actions, there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. Our actual results may differ materially from our expectations, plans or projections. We warn you that forward-looking statements are only predictions and estimates, which are inherently subject to risks, trends and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. We give no assurance that we will achieve our expectations and we do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including the risk factors described or incorporated by reference in Part II, Item 1A of this report. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date made.

        We undertake no obligation, other than as may be required under the federal securities laws, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable at the time made, any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this report and in any other public statements that are made may prove to be incorrect. This may occur as a result of inaccurate assumptions as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. All of the forward- looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed or incorporated by reference under the caption "Risk Factors" under Part II, Item 1A of this report. We caution that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment that is highly complicated, regulated and competitive and new risk factors emerge from time to time. We cannot predict these new risk factors, nor can we assess the impact, if any, of the new risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this report might not occur. You should carefully read this report and the documents that we incorporate by reference in this report in its entirety. It contains information that you should consider in making any investment decision in any of our securities.

        In 2011, Universal American formed a new subsidiary, Collaborative Health Systems, LLC, also known as CHS, to work with physicians and other healthcare professionals to form Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, under the Medicare Shared Savings Program ("Shared Savings Program"). Nine of our ACOs were approved for participation in the program by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, effective April 1, 2012, an additional seven ACOs were approved effective July 1, 2012 and fifteen additional ACOs were approved effective January 1, 2013. We estimate that these thirty one ACOs currently include approximately 3,000 participating providers with approximately 333,000 assigned Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries covering portions of thirteen states, both within and outside our current Medicare Advantage footprint, including southeast Texas and upstate New York. CHS will provide these ACOs with care coordination, analytics and reporting, technology and other administrative capabilities to enable participating providers to deliver better care and lower healthcare costs for their Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. The Company provides capital to CHS to support the operating activities of CHS and the ACOs.

        On March 2, 2012, we completed our acquisition of APS Healthcare, Inc., known as APS Healthcare. APS Healthcare provides specialty health services focused on behavioral health benefits, disease and condition management, and quality review and improvement. All of these services are designed to reduce health-related costs and enhance the health and quality of life of the members served. APS Healthcare provides services to government agencies, such as state Medicaid programs, commercial health plans, employers and unions. These services are provided on either an at-risk basis or an administrative services only basis. Behavioral health benefits are administered through APS Healthcare's provider network that consists of health care providers and facilities with which APS Healthcare directly or indirectly contracts to provide the necessary treatment. APS Healthcare operates in the United States and Puerto Rico. For further discussion of this transaction, see Note 4—Business Combination and Goodwill.

        We have prepared the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim reporting in accordance with Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. GAAP or those normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. For our insurance and HMO subsidiaries, U.S. GAAP differs from statutory

accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities. We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances. The interim financial information in this report is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments, including normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods reported. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

        Unconsolidated Subsidiaries:    In 2012, we entered into agreements with various healthcare providers to establish ACOs. These ACOs were generally formed as Limited Liability Companies. Our percentage ownership of each ACO varies, however, our share of the income of an ACO is generally 50% and our share of losses of an ACO is generally 100%. In the event of losses, we will share in 100% of subsequent profits until our losses are recovered. Any remaining profits are generally shared at 50%.

        The ACOs are considered variable interest entities, known as VIEs, under U.S. GAAP as these entities do not have sufficient equity to finance their own operations without additional financial support. We assess our contractual, ownership or other interests in a VIE to determine if our interest participates in the variability the VIE was designed to absorb and pass onto variable interest holders. We perform an ongoing qualitative assessment of our variable interests in VIEs to determine whether we have a controlling financial interest and would therefore be considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of the ACOs, and therefore we cannot consolidate them. We account for our participation in the ACOs using the equity method. Gains and losses from our participation in the ACOs are reported as equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries in the consolidated statements of operations. Our net investment in the ACOs is reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

        Use of Estimates:    The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported by us in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Critical accounting policies require significant subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates are based on information available at the time the estimates are made, as well as anticipated future events. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We periodically evaluate our estimates, and as additional information becomes available or actual amounts become determinable, we may revise the recorded estimates and reflect the revisions in operating results. In our judgment, the accounts involving estimates and assumptions that are most critical to the preparation of our financial statements are policy related liabilities and expense recognition, deferred policy acquisition costs, goodwill and other intangible assets, investment valuation, revenue recognition, and income taxes. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies during the current quarter.

        Significant Accounting Policies:    For a description of existing significant accounting policies, see Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        Adjustments to Financial Statements:    In connection with the restatement to correct the accounting related to our recording of certain policy reserves and deferred acquisition costs in our Traditional

Insurance segment along with the related deferred income tax impact, the Company's prior annual financial statements, including the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, have been adjusted to record adjustments in their proper period for items that are not considered material but were previously corrected out-of-period.

        We evaluated these adjustments in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and determined that these changes should be reported as a correction of errors in the prior periods. See Note 2—Basis of Presentation included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for additional information regarding these adjustments.

        The following table reflects the adjustments to the financial statement line items of our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012:

        Retained earnings at January 1, 2012 decreased by $12.8 million, net of tax, with $10.9 million relating to the correction and $1.9 million relating to other adjustments. Retained earnings at June 30, 2012 decreased by $14.0 million, net of tax, with $10.9 million relating to the correction and $3.1 million related to other adjustments. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, operating cash flows increased by $8.3 million, with a corresponding decrease in financing cash flows as a result of these adjustments.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED AND PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        Other Comprehensive Income:    In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, known as ASU 2013-02, which requires an entity to provide additional disclosure about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. We adopted

this guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2013. There was no impact to our financial position or results of operations, as ASU 2013-02 only impacts financial statement disclosure.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND GOODWILL

    Acquisition of APS Healthcare

        On March 2, 2012, we acquired 100% of the outstanding voting stock of APS Healthcare at a purchase price of $222.3 million, which is net of a working capital adjustment of $5.2 million. The consideration comprised $147.8 million in cash to retire APS Healthcare's outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities and approximately $74.5 million in Universal American common stock. The equity portion of the purchase price was funded through the issuance of 6,314,690 shares of Universal American common stock. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the proceeds of the $150 million term loan portion of a new Credit Facility.

        We have recorded $5.0 million of acquisition accounting adjustments subsequent to the closing. The working capital adjustment was finalized in the third quarter of 2012, resulting in a $2.2 million decrease to the purchase price and the return of 189,771 shares of Universal American common stock. The remaining $2.8 million included an increase in deferred tax assets of $3.8 million, net of an increase in claims payable of $0.8 million and a decrease in other current assets of $0.2 million. These adjustments were offset to goodwill.

        The allocation of the purchase price resulted in goodwill of $164.8 million and other intangible assets of $29.2 million. The goodwill recognized, assigned to the Corporate and Other segment, is attributable primarily to anticipated business growth and the assembled workforce of APS Healthcare. Approximately $5.5 million of the goodwill related to the acquisition of APS Healthcare is deductible for tax purposes. The other intangible assets, which consist of customer relationships, technology, trade name and provider network, have weighted average useful lives ranging from 4 to 8 years.

        We test goodwill for impairment annually based on information as of October 1 of the current year or more frequently if circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, certain events occurred and circumstances changed which indicated that it was more likely than not that goodwill for APS Healthcare might be impaired.

        These events and circumstances, occurring during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, included the following:

    APS Healthcare failed to win certain new contracts that had previously been anticipated;

    One contract that represents a significant portion of APS Healthcare's historical revenue was renewed, but at a lower rate than had previously been anticipated;

    Certain of APS Healthcare's existing contracts were terminated, not renewed or we learned that they were likely to terminate in the next several months; and

    Due to the general increase in interest rates during the second quarter, the discount rate used in the impairment analysis was increased by 50 basis points compared to the rate used in the prior impairment testing analysis.

Based on the foregoing, we performed an interim impairment review as of June 30, 2013, that included lowered expectations for future revenue growth and new business development and a higher discount

4. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND GOODWILL (Continued)

rate. As a result, we performed an interim impairment review as of June 30, 2013. Based on the results of the step one impairment test, we determined that as of June 30, 2013 the carrying value of APS Healthcare exceeded its fair value. We then proceeded to the second step of the impairment test to estimate the implied fair value of the APS Healthcare goodwill. This implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, that is, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value was the purchase price paid. Based on the June 30, 2013 step two analysis, the carrying amount of the APS Healthcare goodwill exceeded its implied fair value, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $91.7 million, which we allocated on a pro-rata basis between taxable and non-taxable goodwill.

        We estimate the fair values of our reporting units using discounted cash flows, which include assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors. Significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis include financial projections of cash flow (including significant assumptions about operations and target capital requirements), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value, and discount rates. Forecasts and long-term growth rates used for our reporting units are consistent with, and use inputs from, our internal long-term business plan and strategy. During our forecasting process, we assess revenue trends, medical cost trends, operating cost levels and target capital levels. Significant factors affecting these trends include changes in membership, premium yield, medical cost trends, and the impact and expectations of regulatory environments.

        Although we believe that the financial projections used are reasonable and appropriate at the time made, the use of different assumptions and estimates could materially impact the analysis and resulting conclusions. In addition, due to the long-term nature of the forecasts there is significant uncertainty inherent in those projections. That uncertainty is increased by the impact of healthcare reforms as discussed in Item 1, "Business—Regulation" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional discussions regarding how the enactment or implementation of healthcare reforms and how other factors could affect our business and the related long-term forecasts, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and "Healthcare Reform" in Part 1, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

        We use a range of discount rates that correspond to a market-based weighted average cost of capital. Discount rates are determined for each reporting unit based on the implied risk inherent in their forecasts. This risk is evaluated using comparisons to market information such as peer company weighted average costs of capital and peer company stock prices in the form of revenue and earnings multiples. The most significant estimates in the discount rate determinations include the risk-free rates and equity risk premium. Company-specific adjustments to discount rates are subjective and thus are difficult to measure with certainty.

        Outcomes from the discounted cash flow analysis are compared to other market approach valuation methodologies for reasonableness.

        The passage of time and the availability of additional information regarding areas of uncertainty in regards to the reporting units' operations could cause these assumptions used in our analysis to change materially in the future. If our assumptions differ from actual, the estimates underlying our goodwill impairment tests could be adversely affected. Decreases in business growth, decreases in earnings projections, increases in the weighted average cost of capital and increases in the amount of required capital for a reporting unit will all cause the reporting unit's fair value to decrease.

        The results of operations and financial condition of APS Healthcare have been included in our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets from March 2, 2012, the date of acquisition. In 2012, we recognized $3.7 million of acquisition related costs (primarily in the first quarter). These costs are included in the line item other operating costs and expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. We also incurred $5.8 million of costs in connection with the new credit facility. These costs have been deferred, are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, and will be amortized over the life of the term loan. We have not recognized any acquisition-related costs in 2013.

        The unaudited consolidated pro forma results of operations, assuming that operating results for APS Healthcare were included for the entire three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, is as follows:

These amounts also include adjustment of our results to reflect the cost of the new credit facility and additional stock based compensation that would have been charged assuming the acquisition took place on January 1, 2012, and elimination of our acquisition related costs, together with the related tax effects.

The fair value of certain subprime securities is depressed due to the deterioration of collectability of the underlying mortgages. The fair value of the other securities is depressed primarily due to changes in interest rates.

        The reduction in fair values at June 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012, and the resulting increase in the number of securities in an unrealized loss position, is due to an overall increase in interest rates as a result of the general improvement in the U.S. economic outlook, and the Federal Reserve's announcement regarding the eventual reduction in its quantitative easing program.

    Interest Rate Swaps

        We use interest rate swaps from time to time as part of our overall risk management strategy to efficiently reduce the duration, or sensitivity, of our fixed maturity investment portfolio market value to a rise in interest rates.

        Our swaps are designated as held for managing asset-related risks that do not qualify for hedge treatment. Because the swaps do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings. Their fair value is based on the present value of expected net cash flows as determined by the contract rate and the LIBOR forward rate curve on the valuation date. As a component of managing overall interest rate risk, such gains and losses are most appropriately considered in the context of changes in the unrealized gains and losses on the fixed income portfolio. The swaps are recorded at fair value in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        We carry fixed maturity investments and equity securities at fair value in our Consolidated Financial Statements. These fair value disclosures consist of information regarding the valuation of these financial instruments followed by the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, known as ASC 820-10. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad Levels, numbered 1, 2, and 3. For further discussion, see Note 7—Fair Value Measurements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

    Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurement—APS Healthcare Goodwill

        During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we determined that the carrying amount of the APS Healthcare goodwill exceeded its implied fair value of $73.0 million. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge to write off the excess amount. Because of the nature of the goodwill valuation process, we have classified this nonrecurring fair value measurement as Level 3. For further details see Note 4—Business Combination and Goodwill.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        In April 2011, we established the Universal American Corp. 2011 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "2011 Equity Plan"). The 2011 Equity Plan is the sole active plan for providing equity compensation to eligible employees, directors and other third parties. We issue shares upon the exercise of options granted under the plan. Detailed information for activity in our stock-based incentive plan can be found in Note 19—Stock-Based Compensation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        Compensation expense, included in other operating costs and expenses, and the related tax benefit were as follows:

    Stock Option Awards

        We recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees, directors and other third parties based on the grant date fair value of the award, which we amortize over the grantees' service period in accordance with the provisions of Compensation—Stock Compensation Topic, ASC 718-10. We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to value stock options.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

        We estimated the fair value for options granted during the period at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following range of assumptions:

 
  For options granted
in 2013

Weighted-average grant date fair value

  $2.67 - $2.83

Risk free interest rates

  0.56% - 0.76%

Dividend yields

  0.00%

Expected volatility

  39.66% - 40.86%

Expected lives of options (in years)

  3.75

        We did not capitalize any cost of stock-based compensation. Future expense may vary based upon factors such as the number of awards granted by us and the then-current fair value of such awards.

        A summary of option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is set forth below:

Options

    (1,184 )   9.79  
           

Outstanding at June 30, 2013

    6,048   $ 8.97  
           

        The total intrinsic value of stock options (the amount by which the market price of the stock on the date of exercise exceeded the exercise price of the option) exercised was less than $0.1 million during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

        We received proceeds of approximately $0.5 million and $0.1 million from the exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

        As of June 30, 2013, the total compensation cost related to non-vested option awards not yet recognized was $13.7 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

    Restricted Stock Awards

        In accordance with our 2011 Equity Plan, we may grant restricted stock to employees, directors and other third parties. These awards generally vest ratably over a four-year period; however during the six months ended June 30, 2013 we paid a portion of the annual bonuses in the form of restricted stock, which vests under certain circumstances on the two year anniversary of the grant. We generally value restricted stock awards at an amount equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense for restricted stock awards on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

        The total fair value of shares of restricted stock vested during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.6 million.

    Tax Benefits of Stock-Based Compensation

        ASC 718-10 requires us to report the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost of equity awards as a financing cash flow. We recognized $0.4 million and $4.1 million of financing cash flows for these excess tax deductions for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Legal Proceedings

        We are subject to a variety of legal proceedings, investigations, audits, claims and litigation, including claims under the False Claims Act and claims for benefits under insurance policies and claims by members, providers, customers, employees, regulators and other third parties. In some cases, plaintiffs seek punitive damages. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we do not currently expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

    Government Regulations

        Laws and regulations governing Medicare, Medicaid and other state and federal healthcare and insurance programs are complex and subject to significant interpretation. As part of the recent healthcare reform legislation, CMS and other regulatory agencies have been exercising increased oversight and regulatory authority over our Medicare and other businesses. Compliance with such laws and regulations is subject to CMS audit, other governmental review and investigation and significant and complex interpretation. According to CMS, we are a high-risk Medicare Advantage sponsor. As a result, CMS continues to audit our Medicare Advantage plans with regularity to ensure we are in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and CMS instructions. There can be no assurance that we will be found to be in compliance with all such laws, rules and regulations in connection with these audits, reviews and investigations, and at times we have been found to be out of compliance.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Failure to be in compliance can subject us to significant regulatory action including significant fines, penalties, cancellation of contracts with governmental agencies or operating restrictions on our business, including, without limitation, suspension of our ability to market to and enroll new members in our Medicare plans, termination of our contracts with CMS, exclusion from Medicare and other state and federal healthcare programs and inability to expand into new markets.

10. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

        As of June 30, 2013, our business segments are based on product and consist of

    Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage and,

    Traditional Insurance.

        The activities of our holding company, along with start-up and operating costs associated with our ACO business, the operations of APS Healthcare since its acquisition on March 2, 2012 and other ancillary operations are reported in our Corporate & Other segment.

        We report intersegment revenues and expenses on a gross basis in each of the operating segments but eliminate them in the consolidated results. These intersegment revenues and expenses affect the amounts reported on the individual financial statement line items, but we eliminate them in consolidation and they do not change income before taxes. The most significant items eliminated are intersegment revenue and expense relating to commissions earned by agency subsidiaries in our Corporate & Other segment from insurance subsidiaries in our Traditional segment and for services provided by APS Healthcare to our Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage segment.

        Financial data by segment, with a reconciliation of segment revenues and segment income (loss) before income taxes to total revenue and income from continuing operations before income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP is as follows:

We evaluate the results of operations of our segments based on income (loss) before realized gains and losses and income taxes. We believe that realized gains and losses are not indicative of overall operating trends.

11. OTHER DISCLOSURES

        Income Taxes:    Our effective tax rate was 2.4% for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 45.6% for the second quarter of 2012. Permanent items, primarily relating to non-deductible goodwill impairment, executive compensation and interest on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as well as foreign and state income taxes drove the variance in the effective rate compared with the 35% federal rate. The second quarter of 2013 and 2012 each included non-recurring tax benefits of $0.1 million.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our effective tax rate was (8.9)% compared to 41.5% for the same period in 2012. Permanent items, relating to non-deductible goodwill impairment, executive compensation, APS Healthcare transaction costs and interest on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as well as foreign and state income taxes drove the variance in the effective rate compared with the 35% federal rate. The six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 also included non-recurring tax benefits of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, primarily related to state income tax refunds.

        Reinsurance:    We evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentrations of credit risk to minimize our exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. We are obligated to pay claims in the event that a reinsurer to whom we have ceded an insured claim fails to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreement. We are also obligated to pay claims on the traditional business of Pennsylvania Life Insurance Company, the company that we sold to CVS Caremark in 2011, in the event that any of the third party reinsurers to whom Pennsylvania Life has ceded an insured claim fails to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreement. We are not aware of any instances where any of our reinsurers have been unable to pay any policy claims on any reinsured business.

11. OTHER DISCLOSURES (Continued)

        As of June 30, 2013, all of our primary reinsurers, as well as the primary first party reinsurers of Pennsylvania Life's traditional business, were rated "A-" (Excellent) or better by A.M. Best with the exception of one reinsurer. For that reinsurer, which is not rated, a trust containing assets at 106% of reserves was established at the inception of the reinsurance agreement. The trust agreement requires that on an ongoing basis the trust assets be maintained at a minimum level of 100% of reserves. The reserves amounted to approximately $139.2 million as of June 30, 2013.

Gains and losses from our participation in the ACOs are reported as equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries in the consolidated statements of operations. Our net investment in the ACOs is reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. We recognized losses of $8.9 million and $17.2 million from our ACO arrangements, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively and losses of $2.1 million for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012. For additional information on the ACOs, see Note 1—Organization and Company Background and Note 2—Basis of Presentation.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        Special Cash Dividend:    On August 1, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the payment of a special cash dividend of $1.60 per share, payable on August 19, 2013 to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2013. We expect the cumulative dividend payment to be approximately $139.9 million. In addition, pursuant to the terms of our 2011 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, the

exercise price on outstanding stock options will be reduced by the amount of the dividend, $1.60. We will also establish a dividend payable liability to record amounts expected to be paid in the future to holders of our restricted stock as such shares vest. This liability is expected to amount to approximately $2.2 million.

        Stock Repurchase Plan:    In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $40 million of its outstanding common stock. Purchases may occur from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise as market conditions permit.

        Acquisition of Total Care:    On August 2, 2013, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of the Total Care Medicaid managed care plan. Total Care is one of the oldest and largest Medicaid health plans in Upstate New York, currently serving approximately 35,000 members in Syracuse and surrounding areas. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from applicable New York regulators and is expected to close in the 4th quarter of 2013.

ITEM 2—MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

        The following discussion and analysis presents a review of our financial condition as of June 30, 2013 and our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, except as otherwise indicated, references to the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" are to Universal American Corp., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries.

        You should read the following analysis of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related consolidated footnotes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as well as the Consolidated Financial Statements and related consolidated Footnotes and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from management's expectations. Factors that could cause such differences include those set forth or incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed on March 6, 2013 under Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors.

Overview

        Through our health insurance, and managed care subsidiaries, we primarily serve the growing Medicare population by providing Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement insurance products. In addition, with the acquisition of APS Healthcare on March 2, 2012, we now provide a variety of healthcare services, including case management and care coordination, clinical quality and utilization review and behavioral health services to Medicaid agencies and other third parties. Approximately 27% of the over 65 year old population in the United States is currently enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans. In addition, we believe there is an opportunity to address the high cost of healthcare for the remaining Medicare population enrolled in traditional fee-for-service Medicare and have joined with primary-care provider groups, hospitals, integrated delivery systems, and a variety of other health care providers to form thirty-one Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, pursuant to the Medicare Shared Saving Program, or Shared Savings Program. All payers of healthcare costs, from the Federal and state governments to corporations and individuals, are incurring rising healthcare costs and we believe we can apply our capabilities and experience in controlling these costs while improving health outcomes.

Recent Developments

    Medicare Accountable Care Organizations

        In March 2010, President Obama signed into law The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and The Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which we collectively refer to as the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act established ACOs as a tool to improve quality and lower costs through increased care coordination in the Medicare Fee-for-Service, or FFS, program, which covers approximately 75% of the Medicare recipients, approximately 36 million eligible Medicare beneficiaries. CMS established the Shared Savings Program to facilitate coordination and cooperation among providers to improve the quality of care for FFS beneficiaries and reduce unnecessary costs. Eligible providers, hospitals, and suppliers may participate in the Shared Savings Program by creating or participating in an ACO.

        The Shared Savings Program is designed to improve beneficiary outcomes and increase value of care by (1) promoting accountability for the care of Medicare FFS beneficiaries; (2) requiring

28


Table of Contents

coordinated care for all services provided under Medicare FFS; and (3) encouraging investment in infrastructure and redesigned care processes. The Shared Savings Program will reward ACOs that lower their growth in health care costs while meeting performance standards on quality of care and putting patients first. Under the final Shared Savings Program rules, Medicare will continue to pay individual providers and suppliers for specific items and services as it currently does under the FFS payment methodologies. The Shared Savings Program rules require CMS to develop a benchmark for savings to be achieved by each ACO if the ACO is to receive shared savings or for ACOs that have elected to accept responsibility for losses. An ACO that meets the program's quality performance standards will be eligible to receive a share of the savings to the extent its assigned beneficiary medical expenditures are below its own medical expenditure benchmark provided by CMS.

        We have partnered with primary-care provider groups, hospitals, integrated delivery systems, and a variety of other health care providers to form 31 ACOs which have been approved by CMS for participation in the Shared Savings Program. We estimate that these 31 ACOs currently include approximately 3,000 participating providers with approximately 333,000 assigned Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries covering portions of thirteen States both within and outside our current Medicare Advantage footprint, including Southeast Texas and upstate New York. We will provide these ACOs with care coordination, analytics and reporting, technology and other administrative capabilities to enable participating providers to deliver better care, improved health and lower healthcare costs for their Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries.

Healthcare Reform

        The Affordable Care Act enacted significant changes to various aspects of the U.S. health insurance industry. There are many important provisions of the legislation that will require additional guidance and clarification in form of regulations and interpretations in order to fully understand the impact of the legislation on our overall business, which we expect to occur over the next several years.

        Certain significant provisions of the Affordable Care Act that will impact our business include, among others, establishment of ACOs, reduced Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates, implementation of quality bonus for Star Ratings, stipulated minimum medical loss ratios, non-deductible federal excise taxes assessed to health insurers and coding intensity adjustments with mandatory minimums. The health care reform legislation is discussed more fully in the "Risk Factors" section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

        In June 2012, the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, with one limited exception relating to its Medicaid expansion provision. The Supreme Court held that States could not be required to expand Medicaid or risk the loss of federal funding for existing Medicaid programs. Beginning in January 2014, Medicaid coverage will be expanded to all individuals under age 65 with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level, subject to the States' elections. The federal government will pay the entire costs for Medicaid coverage for newly eligible beneficiaries for three years, from 2014 through 2016. The federal share declines to 95% in 2017, 94% in 2018, 93% in 2019, and 90% in 2020 and subsequent years.

Goodwill Impairment Charge

        We test goodwill for impairment annually based on information as of October 1 of the current year or more frequently if circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013 certain events occurred and circumstances changed which indicated that it was more likely than not that goodwill for APS Healthcare might be impaired.

        These events and circumstances, occurring during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, included the following:

    APS Healthcare failed to win certain new contracts that had previously been anticipated;

    One contract that represents a significant portion of APS Healthcare's historical revenue was renewed, but at a lower rate than had previously been anticipated;

    Certain of APS Healthcare's existing contracts were terminated, not renewed or we learned that they were likely to terminate in the next several months; and

    Due to the general increase in interest rates during the second quarter, the discount rate used in the impairment analysis was increased by 50 basis points compared to the rate used in the prior impairment testing analysis.

        Based on the foregoing, we performed an interim impairment review as of June 30, 2013, that included lowered expectations for future revenue growth and new business development and a higher discount rate. As a result of the step one impairment test, we determined that as of June 30, 2013 the carrying value of APS Healthcare exceeded its fair value. We then proceeded to the second step of the impairment test to estimate the implied fair value of the APS Healthcare goodwill. This implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, that is, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value was the purchase price paid. Based on the June 30, 2013 step two analysis, the carrying amount of the APS Healthcare goodwill exceeded its implied fair value, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $91.7 million, which we allocated on a pro-rata basis between taxable and non-taxable goodwill.

        We estimate the fair values of our reporting units using discounted cash flows, which include assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors. Significant assumptions used in the

30


Table of Contents

impairment analysis include financial projections of cash flow (including significant assumptions about future revenue, operating margins and target capital requirements), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value, and discount rates. Forecasts and long-term growth rates used for our reporting units are consistent with, and use inputs from, our internal long-term business plan and strategy. During our forecasting process, we assess revenue trends, medical cost trends, operating cost levels and target capital levels. Significant factors affecting these trends include changes in membership, premium yield, medical cost trends, and the impact and expectations of regulatory environments.

        Although we believe that the financial projections used are reasonable and appropriate at the time made, the use of different assumptions and estimates could materially impact the analysis and resulting conclusions. In addition, due to the long-term nature of the forecasts there is significant uncertainty inherent in those projections. That uncertainty is increased by the impact of healthcare reforms as discussed in Item 1, "Business—Regulation" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional discussions regarding how the enactment or implementation of healthcare reforms and how other factors could affect our business and the related long-term forecasts, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and "Healthcare Reform" in Part 1, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

        We use a range of discount rates that correspond to a market-based weighted average cost of capital. Discount rates are determined for each reporting unit based on the implied risk inherent in their forecasts. This risk is evaluated using comparisons to market information such as peer company weighted average costs of capital and peer company stock prices in the form of revenue and earnings multiples. The most significant estimates in the discount rate determinations include the risk-free rates and equity risk premium. Company-specific adjustments to discount rates are subjective and thus are difficult to measure with certainty.

        Outcomes from the discounted cash flow analysis are compared to other market approach valuation methodologies for reasonableness.

        The passage of time and the availability of additional information regarding areas of uncertainty in regards to the reporting units' operations could cause these assumptions used in our analysis to change materially in the future. If our assumptions differ from actual, the estimates underlying our goodwill impairment tests could be adversely affected.

        Future events that could have a negative impact on the levels of excess fair value over carrying value of our reporting units include, but are not limited to:

    decreases in business growth;

    decreases in earnings projections;

    increases in the weighted average cost of capital; and

    increases in the amount of required capital for a reporting unit.

Negative changes in one or more of these factors, among others, could result in additional impairment charges.

In connection with the restatement to correct the accounting related to our recording of certain policy reserves and deferred acquisition costs in our Traditional Insurance segment along with the related deferred income tax impact, the Company's prior annual financial statements, including the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, have been adjusted to record adjustments in their proper period for items that are not considered material but were previously corrected out-of-period.

(2)
We evaluate the results of operations of our segments based on income before realized gains (losses) and income taxes. We believe that realized gains and losses are not indicative of overall operating trends. This differs from U.S. GAAP, which includes the effect of realized gains (losses) and income taxes in the determination of net income. The schedule above reconciles our segment income (loss) before income taxes to net (loss) income in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    Three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

        Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $91.8 million, or $(1.05) per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.7 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Net (loss) income includes a goodwill impairment charge, net of taxes, of $90.6 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, realized investment gains, net of taxes, of $6.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, and $0.9 million, or $0.1 per diluted share, for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        Our effective tax rate was 2.4% for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 45.6% for the second quarter of 2012. Permanent items, primarily relating to non-deductible goodwill impairment, executive compensation and interest on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as well as foreign and state income taxes drove the variance in the effective rate compared with the 35% federal rate. The second quarter of 2013 and 2012 each included non-recurring tax benefits of $0.1 million.

        Our Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage segment generated income before income taxes of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $15.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in earnings was driven primarily by deterioration in the medical expense ratio to 88.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from 83.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, partially offset by improved expense efficiency as a result of our continued expense reduction initiatives. The second quarter of 2013 included unfavorable prior period

32


Table of Contents

items of $6.5 million compared to favorable prior period items of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2012.

        Our Traditional Insurance segment generated income before income taxes of $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The $0.3 million decrease in income was primarily due to a decrease in underwriting income due to the decline in overall business in force.

        The loss before income taxes from our Corporate & Other segment increased by $95.1 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. This was due primarily to a goodwill impairment charge of $91.7 million taken in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $4.2 million in ACO start up and operating costs and higher corporate operating costs.

    Six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

        Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $77.9 million, or $(0.89) per diluted share, compared to net income of $24.2 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net (loss) income includes a goodwill impairment charge, net of taxes, of $90.6 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, realized investment gains, net of taxes, of $8.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, and $5.4 million, or $0.6 per diluted share, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our effective tax rate was (8.9)% compared to 41.5% for the same period in 2012. Permanent items, relating to non-deductible goodwill impairment, executive compensation, APS Healthcare transaction costs and interest on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as well as foreign and state income taxes drove the variance in the effective rate compared with the 35% federal rate. The six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 also included non-recurring tax benefits of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, primarily related to state income tax refunds.

        Our Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage segment generated income before income taxes of $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $10.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in earnings was driven primarily by deterioration in the medical expense ratio to 84.1% for first half of 2013 from 82.5% in the first half of 2012, partially offset by improved expense efficiency as a result of our continued expense reduction initiatives. The first half of 2013 included favorable prior period items of $17.2 million compared to favorable prior period items of $11.6 million in the first half of 2012.

Table of Contents

        Our Traditional Insurance segment generated income before income taxes of $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The $2.4 million decrease in income was primarily due to a decrease in underwriting and investment income due to the decline in overall business in force.

        The loss before income taxes from our Corporate & Other segment increased by $104.0 million for the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012. This was due primarily to a goodwill impairment charge of $91.7 million taken in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $8.9 million in ACO start up and operating costs and higher corporate operating expenses.

        Our Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage segment includes the operations of our Medicare coordinated care HMO, PPO, network-based PFFS and non-network (Rural) PFFS Plans (collectively, the "Plans"), which provides coverage to Medicare beneficiaries in 34 states. Our HMOs offer coverage to Medicare beneficiaries primarily in Southeastern Texas, the area surrounding Dallas/Ft. Worth, 16 counties in Oklahoma and 3 counties in Indiana.

    Three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

        Our Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage segment generated income before income taxes of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $15.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in earnings was driven primarily by deterioration in the medical expense ratio to 88.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from 83.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, partially offset by improved expense efficiency as a result of our continued expense reduction initiatives. The second quarter of 2013 included unfavorable prior period items of $6.5 million compared to favorable prior period items of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2012.

        Net Premiums.    Net premiums for the Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage segment decreased by $1.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to lower member months in 2013, partially offset by a higher premium yield per member. During the second quarter of 2013, net premiums included $1.3 million of net favorable items related to prior periods compared to $2.5 million during the same period in 2012.

        Net investment income.    Net investment income decreased $1.0 million primarily due to the maturity of higher yielding assets with the proceeds being reinvested in lower yielding securities in this low interest rate environment.

        Medical expenses.    Medical expenses increased by $15.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, medical expenses included $7.8 million of net unfavorable items related to prior periods compared to $0.2 million during the same period in 2012. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, sequestration increased our medical expense ratio by approximately 100 basis points and we saw an uptick in inpatient and emergent care utilization in our non-HMO lines of business. The medical expense ratio deteriorated to 88.2% for the second quarter of 2013 from 83.9% for the same period in 2012. Excluding the prior period items discussed above, the medical expense ratio for the second quarter of 2013 was 86.5%.

        Commissions and general expenses.    Commissions and general expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased $2.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as the result of the decreased level of membership and the execution of our continued expense reduction plan. The ratio of commissions and general expenses to net premiums improved to 12.8% in the second quarter of 2013 from 13.3% in the second quarter of 2012.

    Six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

        Our Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage segment generated income before income taxes of $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $10.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in earnings was driven primarily by deterioration in the medical expense ratio to 84.1% for first half of 2013 from 82.5% in the first half of 2012, partially offset by improved expense efficiency as a result of our continued expense reduction initiatives. The first half of 2013 included favorable prior period items of $17.2 million compared to favorable prior period items of $11.6 million in the first half of 2012.

        Net Premiums.    Net premiums for the Senior Managed Care—Medicare Advantage segment increased by $3.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to a higher premium yield per member, partially offset by lower member months in 2013. In the first half of 2013, net premiums included $27.9 million of favorable prior period items, including $26.9 million related to 2012 risk scores based on our ongoing chart review process. This compares to $20.2 million of favorable premium adjustments in the first half of 2012 that included $11.4 million related to 2011 risk scores and $9.4 million related to a change in status by CMS for members who had previously been classified as Medicare Secondary Payer, or MSP, members.

        Net investment income.    Net investment income decreased $1.7 million primarily due to the maturity of higher yielding assets with the proceeds being reinvested in lower yielding securities in this low interest rate environment.

        Medical expenses.    Medical expenses increased by $15.8 million compared to the first half of 2012. During the first half of 2013, medical expenses included $10.7 million of net unfavorable items related to prior periods compared to $8.6 million of net unfavorable items related to prior periods in the first half of 2012. The 2012 development included $3.2 million related to the MSP status change discussed above. In addition, the second quarter 2013 effects of sequestration and an uptick in inpatient and emergent care utilization in our non-HMO lines of business unfavorably impacted medical expenses. The medical expense ratio deteriorated to 84.1% for the first half of 2013 from 82.5% for the same period in 2012. Excluding the prior period items discussed above, the medical expense ratio for the first six months of 2013 was 85.7%

        Commissions and general expenses.    Commissions and general expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased $3.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as the result of the decreased level of membership and the execution of our continued expense reduction plan. The ratio of commissions and general expenses to net premiums improved to 12.2% in the first half of 2013 from 12.7% in the first half of 2012.

    Three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

        Our Traditional Insurance segment generated income before income taxes of $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The $0.3 million decrease in income was primarily due to a decrease in underwriting income due to the decline in overall business in force.

        Net Premiums.    Net premium declined by $7.7 million or 12.5% from the second quarter of 2012. This is primarily the result of the continued effect of lapsation on our in force business and the decision to cease marketing and selling Traditional insurance products after June 1, 2012.

        Net investment income.    Net investment income decreased by $0.2 million, primarily due to a lower invested asset base on the declining blocks of business.

        Policyholder benefits.    Policyholder benefits declined by $7.1 million, or 15.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2012. This decline was principally due to the overall decline of insurance in-force in the senior market and specialty health lines of business. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the senior market policyholder benefit ratio improved to 66.7%, compared with 72.3% for the same period last year, due to favorable prior period development and a lower average claim trend in the Medicare supplement line of business. Specialty health's benefit ratio increased to 108.8%, compared with 101.5% for the same period last year, due to a higher incidence of open long-term claims during the second quarter of 2013 partially offset by favorable prior period items.

        Change in deferred acquisition costs.    The net change in deferred acquisition costs increased by $1.5 million due to a lower level of acquisition costs incurred and deferred in 2013 as a result of the decision to cease marketing and selling Traditional insurance products after June 1, 2012.

        Commissions and general expenses, net of allowances.    Total commissions and general expenses, net of allowances, decreased by $2.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. This decrease in expenses is attributed primarily to lower commissions and other acquisition costs as a result of the decline in new business issued in 2013, discussed above, as well as the decline in the business in force.

    Six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

        Our Traditional Insurance segment generated income before income taxes of $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The $2.4 million decrease in income was primarily due to a decrease in underwriting and investment income due to the decline in overall business in force.

        Net Premiums.    Net premium declined by $15.3 million or 12.1% from the six months ending June 30, 2012. This is primarily the result of the continued effect of lapsation on our in force business and the decision to cease marketing and selling Traditional insurance products after June 1, 2012.

        Net investment income.    Net investment income decreased by $0.8 million, primarily due to the maturity of higher yielding assets with the proceeds being reinvested in lower yielding securities in this low interest rate environment, as well as a lower invested asset base on the declining blocks of business.

        Policyholder benefits.    Policyholder benefits declined by $13.0 million, or 13.4%, compared to the six months ending June 30, 2012. This decline was principally due to the overall decline of insurance in-force in the senior market and specialty health lines of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the senior market policyholder benefit ratio improved to 70.9%, compared with 74.1% for the same period last year, due to favorable prior period development and a lower average claim trend in the Medicare supplement line of business. Specialty health's benefit ratio increased to 99.0%, compared with 96.7% for the same period last year, due to a higher incidence of open long-term claims during the second quarter of 2013 partially offset by favorable prior period items.

        Change in deferred acquisition costs.    The net change in deferred acquisition costs increased by $4.1 million due to a lower level of acquisition costs incurred and deferred in 2013 as a result of the decision to cease marketing and selling Traditional insurance products after June 1, 2012.

        Commissions and general expenses, net of allowances.    Total commissions and general expenses, net of allowances, decreased by $5.2 million compared to the six months ending June 30, 2012.

    Three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

        The loss before income taxes from our Corporate & Other segment increased by $95.1 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. This was due primarily to a goodwill impairment charge of $91.7 million taken in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $4.2 million in ACO start up and operating costs and higher corporate operating costs.

        Net premiums.    Net premiums increased by $4.2 million compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 due primarily to increased revenues from the APS Puerto Rico business.

        Fee and other income.    Fee and other income declined by $10.7 million compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to lower levels of fee for service business at APS Healthcare.

        Claims and other benefits.    Claims and other benefits increased by $3.1 million compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012, primarily related to the increase in the Puerto Rico risk business discussed above.

        Goodwill impairment charge.    During the quarter ended June 30, 2013 certain events occurred and circumstances changed which indicated that it was more likely than not that goodwill for APS Healthcare might be impaired. These events and circumstances, occurring during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, included reductions in future sales growth expectations, declines in operating profit margins due to reductions in renewal rates on certain contracts and the loss of other contracts. Accordingly, we performed an interim impairment review as of June 30, 2013. This review indicated that the carrying amount of the APS Healthcare goodwill exceeded its implied fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $91.7 million. For additional information, see Note 4—Business Combination and Goodwill.

        Commissions and general expenses.    Total commissions and general expenses decreased by $12.7 million compared to the six months ending June 30, 2012. This was driven by a $9.7 million decline at APS Healthcare related to expense reduction initiatives and lower levels of business. In

addition, operating expenses for our ACO business declined by $2.6 million, as more ACO costs were chargeable at the ACO subsidiary level (See further discussion below). General corporate expenses increased $1.8 million, compared with 2012, primarily related to business development activities.

        Equity in losses of unconsolidated subsidiaries.    This line represents our share of losses on our unconsolidated ACO subsidiaries. Including the ACO operating expenses reported in commissions and general expenses above, total ACO costs were $9.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with $5.3 million in the same period of 2012 and represent the start-up and operating costs of our ACO business. The increase of $4.2 million is driven by increased operating costs, as there are now 31 ACO entities in operation in 2013 compared to nine at June 30, 2012. Due to the nature of the Shared Savings Program, we do not anticipate recognizing revenue, if any, until the end of the program year, which is December 31, 2013, at the earliest. Based on the ACO operating agreements, we bear all costs of the ACO operations until revenue is recognized. At that point, we share in 100% of the revenue up to the costs recognized. Any remaining revenue is generally shared equally with our ACO partners.

    Six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

        The loss before income taxes from our Corporate & Other segment increased by $104.0 million for the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012. This was due primarily to a goodwill impairment charge of $91.7 million taken in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $8.9 million in ACO start up and operating costs and higher corporate operating expenses.

        Net premiums.    Net premiums increased by $31.8 million compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012 due primarily to 2013 including a full six months of APS Healthcare results compared with four months in 2012. APS Healthcare was acquired on March 2, 2012.

        Fee and other income.    Fee and other income increased by $2.2 million compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to 2013 including a full six months of APS Healthcare results compared with four months in 2012, partially offset by lower levels of domestic business at APS Healthcare in 2013.

        Claims and other benefits.    Claims and other benefits increased by $23.7 million compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily related to 2013 including a full six months of APS Healthcare results compared with four months in 2012 as well as the increase in the Puerto Rico risk business discussed above.

        Amortization of intangible assets.    This represents the amortization of APS Healthcare intangible assets. The increase is due to 2013 including a full six months of APS Healthcare results compared with four months in 2012

        Goodwill impairment charge.    The goodwill impairment charge of $91.7 million relates to the impairment of APS Healthcare goodwill during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as discussed above. For additional information, see Note 4—Business Combination and Goodwill.

        Commissions and general expenses.    Total commissions and general expenses increased by $6.3 million compared to the six months ending June 30, 2012. This was driven by a $15.1 million increase at APS Healthcare primarily related to 2013 including a full six months of APS Healthcare results compared with four months in 2012, net of expense reduction initiatives and lower levels of business. In addition, operating expenses for our ACO business declined by $6.2 million, as more ACO costs were chargeable at the ACO subsidiary level (See further discussion below). General corporate expenses increased $2.4 million, compared with 2012, primarily related to business development activities.

        Equity in losses of unconsolidated subsidiaries.    This line represents our share of losses on our unconsolidated ACO subsidiaries. Including the ACO operating expenses reported in commissions and general expenses above, total ACO costs were $18.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $9.4 million in the same period of 2012 and represent the start-up and operating costs of our ACO business. The increase of $8.9 million is driven by increased operating costs, as there are now 31 ACO entities in operation in 2013 compared to nine at June 30, 2012. Due to the nature of the Shared Savings Program, we do not anticipate recognizing revenue, if any, until the end of the program year, which is December 31, 2013, at the earliest.

Any remaining revenue is generally shared equally with our ACO partners.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Sources and Uses of Liquidity to the Parent Company, Universal American Corp.    We require cash at our parent company to support the operations and growth of our insurance, HMO and other subsidiaries, fund new business opportunities through acquisitions or otherwise, and pay the operating expenses necessary to function as a holding company, as applicable insurance department regulations require us to bear our own expenses.

        The parent company's sources and uses of liquidity are derived primarily from the following:

    dividends from and capital contributions to our insurance and HMO subsidiaries;

    the cash flows of our other subsidiaries, including our management service organization and APS Healthcare;

    the funding of our ACO business and other growth initiatives;

    payment of dividends to shareholders and holders of our mandatorily redeemable preferred shares;

    payment of debt principal, interest and fees required under our 2012 Credit Facility; and

    payment of certain corporate overhead costs and public company expenses.

        As of June 30, 2013, we had approximately $165 million of cash and investments in our parent company and unregulated subsidiaries. An additional $51.5 million of dividends was received from our Insurance and HMO subsidiaries in July 2013, as discussed below.

        On August 1, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the payment of a special cash dividend of $1.60 per share, payable on August 19, 2013 to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2013. We expect the cumulative dividend payment to be approximately $139.9 million. For additional information see Note 12—Subsequent Events.

    Sources and Uses of Liquidity of Our Subsidiaries

        Insurance and HMO subsidiaries.    We require cash at our insurance and HMO subsidiaries to meet our policy-related obligations and to pay operating expenses, including the cost of administration of the policies, and to maintain adequate capital levels. The primary sources of liquidity are premiums received from CMS and policyholders and investment income generated by our invested assets.

        Our insurance subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum amounts of statutory capital and surplus as required by regulatory authorities and each currently exceeds its respective minimum requirement at levels we believe are sufficient to support their current levels of operation. Our HMO subsidiaries are also required by regulatory authorities to maintain minimum amounts of capital and surplus and each currently exceeds this minimum requirement. Excess capital can be used by the insurance and HMO subsidiaries to make dividend payments to their respective holding companies, subject to certain restrictions, and from there to our parent company.

40


Table of Contents

        At June 30, 2013, our insurance and HMO subsidiaries held total cash and invested assets of approximately $950 million, primarily comprised of fixed maturity securities that could readily be converted to cash. We believe that this level of liquidity is sufficient to meet our obligations and pay expenses.

        Capital contributions to and dividends from our Insurance and HMO subsidiaries are made through their respective holding companies. We did not make any capital contributions to our insurance and HMO subsidiaries during the first six months of 2013. During the second quarter, we evaluated capital levels at our insurance and HMO subsidiaries. In addition to ordinary dividends based on prior year earnings, we also requested extraordinary dividends at certain subsidiaries to reduce excess capital. As a result, our insurance and HMO subsidiaries paid $200.4 million of dividends to their holding companies, with $148.9 million paid in June and the balance of $51.5 million paid in July. These are summarized in the following table:

Subsidiary

        Management service organizations.    The primary sources of liquidity for these subsidiaries are fees collected from affiliates for performing administrative, marketing and management services. The primary uses of liquidity are the payments for salaries and expenses associated with providing these services. We believe the sources of cash for these subsidiaries will exceed scheduled uses of cash and result in amounts available to dividend to our parent company.

        APS Healthcare.    The primary sources of liquidity for APS Healthcare are fees from its customers, including health plans, state agencies and related organizations for performing a range of healthcare services. The primary uses of liquidity are the payments for salaries and expenses associated with providing these services. We believe the sources of cash for APS Healthcare will exceed scheduled uses of cash and result in amounts available to dividend to our parent company. APS Healthcare's Puerto Rico subsidiary is required to maintain minimum statutory equity as required by contract with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and currently exceeds its minimum requirement at levels we believe are sufficient to support its current level of operations.

        Investments.    We invest primarily in fixed maturity securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies, U.S. state and local governments, mortgage-backed securities and corporate fixed maturity securities with investment grade ratings of BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody's Investor Service. As of June 30, 2013, approximately 99% of our fixed maturity investments had investment grade ratings from S&P or Moody's.

        At June 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments represent approximately 6% of our total cash and invested assets, approximately 24% of cash and invested assets were held in securities backed by the U.S. government or its agencies and the average credit quality of our total investment portfolio was AA-.

        The average book yield of our total investment portfolio was 3.2% at June 30, 2013 and 3.3% at December 31, 2012.

        2012 Credit Facility.    In connection with the acquisition of APS Healthcare, on March 2, 2012, we entered into a new credit facility (the "2012 Credit Facility") consisting of a five-year $150 million senior secured term loan and a $75 million senior secured revolving credit facility.

41


Table of Contents

        The 2012 Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. Negative covenants include, among others, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on acquisition, dispositions, investments and restricted payments. In addition, the 2012 Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants relating to minimum risk-based capital, consolidated leverage ratio, and consolidated debt service ratio. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. The 2012 Credit Facility also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility immediately due and payable. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in 100% of the capital stock of the Company's material subsidiaries and are also guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries.

        The 2012 Credit Facility bears interest at rates equal to, at the Company's election, LIBOR or the base rate, plus an applicable margin that varies based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio from 1.75% to 2.50%, in the case of LIBOR loans, and from 0.75% to 1.50% in the case of base rate loans. Effective June 30, 2013, the interest rate on the term loan portion of the 2012 Credit Facility was 2.52%, based on a spread of 225 basis points above LIBOR. On April 1, 2013 our spread increased to 225 basis points above LIBOR.

        The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on unused availability under the Revolving Facility that varies based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio, from 0.40% to 0.50% per year. As of the date of this report, we had not drawn on the Revolving Facility.

        For additional information on Liquidity and Capital Resources, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed by Universal American on March 6, 2013.

Table of Contents

        The liability for policy and contract claims—health at June 30, 2013 increased by $2.4 million from December 31, 2012. The increase in the liability was primarily attributable to an increase in pending claims for our Medicare Advantage business.

        The medical cost amount, noted as "prior year development" in the table above, represents (favorable) or unfavorable adjustments as a result of prior year claim estimates being settled or currently expected to be settled, for amounts that are different than originally anticipated. This prior year development occurs due to differences between the actual medical utilization and other components of medical cost trends, and actual claim processing and payment patterns compared to the assumptions for claims trend and completion factors used to estimate our claim liabilities.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2013, claim reserves settled, or are currently expected to be settled, for $0.6 million more than estimated at December 31, 2012, related primarily to our Medicare Advantage business. Prior period development represents less than 0.1% of the incurred claims recorded in 2012.

Sensitivity Analysis

        The following table illustrates the sensitivity of our accident and health IBNR payable at June 30, 2013 to identified reasonably possible changes to the estimated weighted average completion factors and health care cost trend rates. However, it is possible that the actual completion factors and health care cost trend rates will develop differently from our historical patterns and therefore could be outside of the ranges illustrated below.

ITEM 3—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        In general, market risk to which we are subject relates to changes in interest rates that affect the market prices of our fixed income securities.

Investment Interest Rate Sensitivity

        Our profitability could be affected if we were required to liquidate fixed income securities during periods of rising and/or volatile interest rates. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to adverse interest rate movements through a combination of active portfolio management, the use of interest rate swaps and by staggering the maturities of our fixed income investments to assure sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations and to address reinvestment risk considerations. Our investment policy is to balance our portfolio duration to achieve investment returns consistent with the preservation of capital and to meet payment obligations of policy benefits and claims.

        Some classes of mortgage-backed securities are subject to significant prepayment risk. In periods of declining interest rates, individuals may refinance higher rate mortgages to take advantage of the lower rates then available. We monitor and adjust our investment portfolio mix to mitigate this risk.

        We regularly conduct various analyses to gauge the financial impact of changes in interest rate on our financial condition. The ranges selected in these analyses reflect our assessment as being reasonably possible over the succeeding twelve-month period. The magnitude of changes modeled in the accompanying analyses should not be construed as a prediction of future economic events, but rather, be treated as a simple illustration of the potential impact of such events on our financial results.

        The sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk assumes an instantaneous shift in a parallel fashion across the yield curve, with scenarios of interest rates increasing and decreasing 100 and 200 basis points from their levels as of June 30, 2013, and with all other variables held constant. The following table summarizes the impact of the assumed changes in market interest rates at June 30, 2013. Due to the current low interest rate environment, when estimating the effect of market interest rate decreases on fair value we have set an interest rate floor of 0% and have not allowed interest rates to go negative.

Debt

        We pay interest on our term loan based on rates equal to, at the Company's election, LIBOR or the base rate, plus an applicable margin that varies based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio from 1.75% to 2.50%, in the case of LIBOR loans, and from 0.75% to 1.50% in the case of base rate loans. Due to the variable interest rate, we would be subject to higher interest costs if short-term interest rates rise. We regularly conduct various analyses to gauge the financial impact of changes in interest rates on our financial condition. The ranges selected in these analyses reflect our assessment as being reasonably possible over the succeeding twelve-month period. The magnitude of changes modeled in the accompanying analyses should not be construed as a prediction of future economic events, but rather, be treated as a simple illustration of the potential impact of such events on our financial results.

        The sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk assumes scenarios involving increases or decreases in LIBOR of 100 and 200 basis points from their levels as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013,

(1)
The LIBOR rate during the six months ended June 30, 2013 on our Loan payable was approximately 26 basis points. For the purposes of this illustration, we have set a LIBOR, or base rate, floor of 0%.

        As noted above, we have floating rate debt outstanding of $125 million as of June 30, 2013, which is exposed to rising interest rates. In addition, we held approximately $73 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013. Our exposure to rising interest costs on our debt would be partially mitigated by the increase in net investment income on our cash and short-term investments.

        The magnitude of changes reflected in the above analysis regarding interest rates should not be construed as a prediction of future economic events, but rather as an illustration of the potential impact of such events on our financial results.

ITEM 4—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

    Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that we accumulate this information and communicate it to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

    Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

        Our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and we must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that we have detected all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Universal American. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The individual acts of some persons or collusion of two or more people can also circumvent controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

    Evaluation of Effectiveness of Controls

        We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013, at a reasonable assurance level, to timely alert management to material information required to be included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS

        Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2013, as modified by the changes to those risk factors included in other reports we filed with the SEC subsequent to March 6, 2013:

A substantial portion of APS Healthcare's revenues are tied to short-term customer contracts which generally can be terminated without cause.

        The majority of APS Healthcare's revenues are derived from Medicaid. In addition, most of APS Healthcare's contracts are terminable on short notice. As a result of fiscal budgetary and other issues, it is possible that Medicaid funding could be reduced, the counterparty to our Medicaid contracts (state or Medicaid agency) may delay payment to us for many months, or APS Healthcare's contracts could be terminated or amended in an adverse manner, which could have a material adverse effect on APS Healthcare's revenues and operating results.

        APS Healthcare's contracts with clients generally provide for initial terms of one to three years, but oftentimes may be terminated early without cause. The termination of, or our inability to renew or extend, contracts with our clients could lead to decreased revenues and profitability. In addition, certain of the customer contracts contain performance guarantees of various kinds, including operational performance guarantees, guarantees relating to the achievement of health goals as demonstrated by population based clinical measures and guarantees relating to the reduction of overall health costs experienced by the client. Further, certain of the contracts contain liquidated damages provisions for nonperformance that can be assessed in significant amounts. Our failure to meet these performance guarantees could lead to reduced revenue and profitability. In addition, our contract with the Puerto Rico Medicaid agency to provide managed behavioral health and other services, accounts for a significant portion of APS Healthcare's total revenues. This contract was recently extended through June 30, 2014, but may be terminated earlier under certain circumstances. The Puerto Rico government is considering substantial changes to the healthcare system in Puerto Rico. Failure to successfully retain this contract could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
