HealthPartners is scaling back its health plan operations after facing a $200 million loss in 2024 [16, 20]. As of April 1, 2025, they exited Minnesota's Special Needs Basic Care Medicaid program, requiring around 6,200 members to switch plans [16, 20]. They also paused enrollment in other Medicaid plans [16]. CFO Penny Cermak stated that state payment rates for Medicaid are unsustainably low [16, 20]. HealthPartners, which operates more than 90 clinics and hospitals and offers Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial plans in five states, reported this significant operating loss due to climbing medical costs and demand for expensive drugs [16]. However, investment gains of over $250 million helped maintain financial reserves [20]. CEO Andrea Walsh aims for a 2% to 3% operating margin to fund investments and new programs, but revenue fell short of covering costs, resulting in a 2.2% operating loss [20].

HealthPartners experienced an operating loss of $197.9 million in 2024, despite $9 billion in revenue. This was a significant decrease compared to the $15.4 million operating profit in the previous year. Investment returns helped offset the losses, resulting in a $71.4 million excess of revenue over expenses after factoring in these returns. CEO Andrea Walsh mentioned that HealthPartners has extended its strategic alliance with Cigna for another 10 years, enabling Minnesota insurance subscribers to access care out-of-state through Cigna's network. She also provided updates on the plans for a new replacement hospital in Stillwater and efforts to improve access to mental health care, noting the addition of over 3,000 providers to the mental health network in the past four years [33].

HealthPartners was recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of its 2025 Innovators Award honorees for its forward-looking approach to health care [6]. The recognition is for HealthPartners' Mental Health Rapid Access Model, which provides patients with easier access to mental health care through short-term interventions with same-day or next-day appointments [6]. Since the program's inception in 2022, it has served over 9,000 patients, with more than 80% having their needs met within one or two visits [6]. HealthPartners has also expanded the model to include mental health rapid access support for children and teenagers [6]. According to HealthPartners President and CEO Andrea Walsh, this new model significantly benefits patients and acts as a catalyst for future care innovation within the organization [6].

HealthPartners employees, represented by OPEIU Local 12 in Roseville, Minnesota, announced their intent to strike following nine months of contract negotiations [17]. The workers are fighting for affordable healthcare benefits, fair wages, and a respectful workplace [17]. The union claims that HealthPartners is refusing fair wages and attacking the quality healthcare workers have fought to maintain and that negotiations have been stonewalled and members punished for organizing [17]. HealthPartners responded with a written statement, saying they are committed to reaching a fair agreement and hope to avoid a strike, while also stating that they will continue to support patients if a work stoppage occurs [17].
