Update on Fourth Quarter Inpatient Utilization and AEP Performance

Inpatient utilization is one of the Company's key determinants of overall medical expense. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the Company's inpatient utilization in the fourth quarter of 2021 is estimated at approximately 155 admissions per thousand, which represents approximately 5% better performance than management contemplated when the Company released its fourth quarter earnings guidance on November 4, 2021. The Company will not be providing any GAAP or other financial information with respect to its fourth quarter earnings at this time as it is in the process of closing its books for 2021.

Additionally, the Company has completed the Annual Enrollment Period ("AEP") for 2022 and currently estimates that it will have approximately 92,700 members enrolled in its HMO and PPO contracts ("Health Plan Members") as of January 1, 2022. This Health Plan Membership figure represents Health Plan Member growth of approximately 16% year over year when compared with the Company's Health Plan Membership as of January 1, 2021. Note that this figure does not include the Company's approximately 5,400 Direct Contracting Entity members. The Company's approximately 92,700 Health Plan Member estimate is based on the Company's latest internal data regarding AEP new member sales as well as AEP disenrollment, and will be subject to modification over the next 30 to 60 days as retroactive enrollments and disenrollments are reported from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The Company will not be providing forward-looking 2022 Health Plan Membership growth guidance until the Company provides its holistic 2022 guidance.
