With that, I'll now turn the conference over to Bright Health Group Chief Executive Officer, Mike Mikan. Thank you, Stephen. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining Bright Health Group's third quarter 2022 earnings call. I'll open my remarks with comments on our business, provide additional details on the strategic update we announced last month, and then I'll turn the call over to Cathy to go over our third quarter results. As an organization, Bright Health Group is going through a significant evolution. However, one that at its core, keeps us focused on our mission. At Bright Health Group, we are focused on making healthcare right together. Our model continues to be built on the belief that by connecting and aligning the best local resources in healthcare delivery. month, we announced that we will be focused on delivering affordable healthcare for aging and underserved populations in the largest healthcare markets in the country, and continuing to leverage our fully aligned care model with external payer partners and affiliate care providers. We will continue to build on the value-driven care model that we've been advancing since the start of the company. We are well underway in taking steps to move to this more focused model while continuing to keep front and center the commitment to delivering on our financial targets for 2022. Our overall performance so far this year has been in line with our expectations, and that continued in the third quarter across our businesses. Our medical cost management efforts continue to achieve our cost-saving targets, and utilization remained stable in the third quarter. Our risk adjusted medical expense remains in line with our forecast, as lower medical costs are balanced with revisions to our risk adjustment forecasts. Based on our performance year to date and our expectations for a strong finish to the remainder of the year, we are lowering the top end of the guidance range for our full year medical cost ratio. We have also positively revised our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range based on the narrower MCR forecast. As Cathy will discuss in greater detail, the strong results in our Medicare Advantage and NeueHealth businesses gives us confidence in our target for 2023 profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis. For anyone that couldn't join our strategic update call last month, we announced a more focused business model and a capital raise from existing shareholders, strengthening our capital position. We expect that our more focused business model and our strengthened capital position will support the business through profitability. Our more focused business model means that Bright HealthCare will no longer offer individual and family health plans for 2023 or Medicare Advantage health plans outside of California. We will be focusing our new health business on continuing to grow our partnerships with external payers and the government through the ACO REACH program. We have a scaled Medicare Advantage business in California, the largest market for aging and underserved populations, and we have built a high-performing, fully aligned care model with our care partners across the state. In Florida and Texas, our new health risk-bearing care delivery and provider affiliate management business continues to deliver differentiated results. We expect to expand our footprint over time, serving the aging and underserved consumers in Medicare and the consumer marketplace together with our key health plan partners. We will also continue to grow our ACO REACH business, which remains on track with our expectations for the year. We have begun implementing the restructuring plans to adjust our cost structure in order to achieve our 2023 growth margin and operating expense targets, including impacts to many of our employees. We will continue to take steps to adjust our expenses in line with milestones in the marketplace business through the end of the year and over the course of the run-out period. While we are exiting the ACA marketplace insurance business, at our core, we are focused on serving aging and underserved populations through our fully aligned care model. We have demonstrated and continue to believe that when you connect and align the best local resources in healthcare delivery with the financing of care, you get the best outcomes. This is at the heart of our value-driven business model, and we see significant growth opportunities for our Medicare Advantage and new health businesses serving this population. Both businesses are in attractive markets with strong tailwinds, where we have demonstrated differentiated performance and are expanding our payer and aligned provider relationships. We expect to manage both businesses as well as the enterprise to reach Adjusted EBITDA profitability next year while building for long-term capital efficient growth. I'll now hand it over to Cathy to go over our third quarter performance and our updated outlook. Thank you, Mike, and good morning, everyone. I'll start with a review of our third quarter and year-to-date results, provide a balance sheet update, and then go over our 2022 and 2023 outlooks. We ended the third quarter with over 1 million commercial consumers, a modest increase from the second quarter on in-year ISP enrollment and more than 120,000 Medicare Advantage consumers, as well as approximately 520,000 new health value-based lives. Bright Health Group consolidated revenue increased 51% year-over-year to $1.6 billion in Q3. Bright HealthCare commercial revenue grew 57% year-over-year to $983 million, and Bright HealthCare Medicare Advantage revenue grew 11% year-over-year to $409 million, which was entirely organic in Q3. NeueHealth segment revenue of $502 million compares to $223 million in the prior year. Consolidated and Bright HealthCare commercial revenues were negatively impacted by $88 million due to a year-to-date risk adjustment payable true-up across our marketplace states. The increased risk adjustment payable forecast in the quarter reflects continued solid performance on medical costs, which more than offsets the risk adjustment payable forecast revision on a year-to-date basis. Our third quarter 2022 GAAP medical cost ratio at the enterprise level was 90.6%, down from 103% in the third quarter of 2021. The impact to our third quarter MCR from year-to-date risk adjustment payable true-up added 320 basis points to our enterprise MCR in Q3 of 2022, and approximately 800 basis points in Q3 2021. Underlying utilization and medical costs remain in line with our expectations, and we saw the expected increase from the second quarter to the third quarter due to typical seasonality. Our third quarter Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $82.9 million, which excludes, among other things, mark-to-market investment gains and losses on equity securities we hold, a $12.2 million loss in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the $74.2 million goodwill impairment and $42.6 million impairment of intangible assets recognized in Q3 2022, which were primarily driven by macro and strategic factors. Our Adjusted EBITDA and operating expenses in the quarter saw a benefit from a $79 million release of the premium deficiency reserve we previously booked, and we now have a $61 million remaining balance on the PDR going into the fourth quarter. Given the moving pieces within the year, I would point to the year-to-date results for medical cost ratio as the best indication of the medical cost and risk adjustment trends. Our year-to-date MCR of 87.9% reflects strong performance in our medical cost management initiatives and improved operational performance, as well as the success of our fully aligned care model. The year-to-date MCR also includes the impact of the 2021 risk adjustment true-up recognized in the second quarter this year, partially offset by a favorable true-up of 2021 medical costs, which increased the reported MCR by a net 40 basis points. When comparing our MCR performance to 2021, we believe that the 240 basis points year-over-year improvement in our year-to-date MCR continues to understate the improvement we're driving in the business given the risk adjustment and medical cost impacts we recognized in Q4 last year and additional 2021 impacts recognized earlier this year. I would also remind you that in looking at a comparison to 2021, our 2022 MCR is impacted by DCE revenue booked at a 98% MCR. Without DCE, third quarter and year-to-date enterprise MCR would each be 100 basis points lower. Third quarter COVID costs of $23 million were up $3 million from Q2, contributing approximately 140 basis points to the third quarter MCR, up 10 basis points from the impact in the second quarter. $101 million year-to-date COVID costs remain approximately in line with our expectations and create a favorable impact given the pricing adjustments we made for COVID in 2022. The Medicare Advantage MCR was 88.7% in the third quarter and 92% year-to-date, representing year-over-year improvement of 500 and 550 basis points, respectively. This is a meaningful improvement in performance, which gives us confidence in the future outlook for the business and our forecast that the business will be Adjusted EBITDA profitable next year. The commercial MCR in the third quarter was 91.8% from Q2, and the lower 2021 medical costs added 50 basis points to the year-to-date commercial MCR. Both our Medicare Advantage and commercial businesses are performing as expected year-to-date. Turning to NeueHealth, value-based care patients increased by 20,000 this quarter to approximately 520,000, including approximately 405,000 from Bright HealthCare, 46,000 from direct contracting and 69,000 from other value-based external payer relationships across Marketplace and Medicare Advantage. Third quarter revenue for NeueHealth was $502 million, including the impact from the year-to-date true-up for risk adjustment estimates that flows through to the capitated NeueHealth lives, as well as a smaller adjustment to the direct contracting benchmark recognized in Q3. NeueHealth continues to perform well on care and utilization management, driving a solid medical cost ratio in the quarter at 94.5%, approximately in line with our expectations. In direct contracting, we now expect full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to be profitable. NeueHealth is performing across Bright HealthCare lives, external payer lives, and direct contracting, positioning the business well for maneuver to ACO REACH in 2023. Turning to our balance sheet. As of September 30, 2022, we had over $220 million in non-regulated liquidity, including $190 million in cash and equivalents and $30 million in passive equity investment classified as short term. We have over $2.5 billion of additional cash and short or long-term investments held by our regulated insurance subsidiaries. Our $350 million credit facility was fully drawn as of the end of Q3 when factoring in the $46 million letter of credit committed to support our direct contracting business. As we announced on October 18, 2022, we closed on the $135 million sale of Series B convertible perpetual preferred stock. The combined nearly $400 million from our non-regulated liquidity at the end of the quarter and the subsequent proceeds of the preferred stock issuance are expected to support our business through profitability. Also, as noted on our strategic update call, we expect to release $250 million in risk-based capital currently in our regulated subsidiary from the exit of our Marketplace insurance business, pending claims run-out and regulatory approval. We expect to begin to release this capital starting in the middle of next year. The nearly $400 million in non-regulated liquidity at the parent, plus this $250 million in surplus capital, has significantly strengthened our capital position, and we believe that we are fully funded to profitability. In our earnings release this morning, we positively revised our full year 2022 MCR and Adjusted EBITDA outlooks. We continue to work through how we will report fourth quarter results, which we expect will include discontinued operations, but are providing updated guidance consistent with our prior reporting for now. We expect to provide additional information when we report Q4 to bridge our performance to the guidance provided today. We are revising our guidance for enterprise revenue to be approximately $6.8 billion, the low end of our prior range, based on our current views on 2022 risk adjustment and the DCE benchmark. For our enterprise medical cost ratio, we have improved to the high end of our guidance and now expect MCR to be in the range of 90%-92%. We have also positively revised our full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA range and now expect a loss of between $550 million and $700 million, which consistent with our prior guidance, excludes any impact from mark-to-market investment gains and losses, as well as the goodwill and intangibles impairments recognized in Q3. We would again point to the midpoint of the MCR and Adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges based on the trends to this point in utilization and risk adjustment. We have increased visibility in our business this year, and this greater predictability is allowing us to narrow our guidance range as we continue to deliver on the targets we set for the year. For full year 2022, we expect an operating cost ratio of approximately 22%, excluding restructuring costs and impairment charges. Again, a meaningful improvement year-over-year. On a segment basis, our end of year Bright HealthCare member forecast is for greater than 1 million members when combining commercial and Medicare Advantage segments. Similar to our enterprise MCR guidance, we would expect the midpoint of the full year MCR for Bright HealthCare to be lower, but with the move to Bright HealthCare MCR guidance range. Full year 2022 NeueHealth revenue is expected to be approximately $2.2 billion, taking into account the changes to our risk adjustment forecast and the DCE benchmark. Our expected intercompany revenue elimination estimate is approximately $1.2 billion. Contracting of approximately $600 million. On our strategic update call last month, we provided initial 2023 metrics and financial expectations. We are forecasting 2023 revenue to be greater than $3 billion and expect to see modest improvement in our enterprise medical cost ratio relative to our 2022 guidance, as continued progress in our Medicare Advantage business is offset by a mix impact. This morning, we are adjusting our membership expectations for 2023. We continue to expect NeueHealth commercial value-based care patients to be between 85,000 and 90,000, while we now expect end of year 2023 ACO REACH members to be approximately 65,000, up 5,000 members from our prior forecast. Medicare Advantage end of year 2023 enrollment is now expected to be greater than 125,000, reflecting that our MA business will be focused exclusively on the California market for 2023, and early annual enrollment period results are ahead of expectations. We expect an operating expense ratio in 2023 between 14.5% and 15.5% compared to our expectation for approximately 22% in 2022, reflecting our more focused business and other actions we are taking to reduce operating expenses. Our MCR forecast, plus the contribution from services revenue and our operating expense forecast, is expected to support our view that we will achieve Adjusted EBITDA profitability. We expect our more focused model will result in greater predictability in revenue and gross margin in 2023, and the business is well-positioned for capital-efficient growth. We expect to provide more detailed guidance in January. Before I turn the call back to Mike, I appreciate our amazing Bright Health team across the country, and I want to thank our shareholders for their continued support. Now, here's Mike for some final comments. Thank you, Cathy. We're encouraged by the performance of the business so far this year, with stable utilization supporting improved MCR and Adjusted EBITDA results. We're delivering against the guidance we set back in March and are positive on the strategic actions we're taking to accelerate profitability into 2023. We are focusing on serving aging and underserved consumers that have unmet clinical needs through our fully aligned care model in Florida, Texas, and California, some of the largest markets in healthcare, where 26% of the US. aging population call home. In NeueHealth, we are confident that the business's ability to manage costs in value-based arrangements will attract a growing number of external payer partners in Texas and Florida, large markets with significant growth opportunities. Our value-driven care model in NeueHealth is driving differentiated results with lower medical costs and strong performance on key utilization metrics for both Bright HealthCare members and for external payers. We will continue to focus on serving consumers in the commercial marketplace, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and ACO REACH, a differentiated model compared to competitors serving specific patient categories. Our growing ACO REACH business allows us to leverage our technology and value-based care expertise to support condition groups in taking on risk for traditional Medicare lives. We see a large long-term opportunity in ACO REACH as the US government looks to shift more fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries into value-based care arrangements. Our Medicare Advantage business is well-positioned, working with our care partners in value-based arrangements already, serving seniors and underserved populations throughout California. We have made substantial operational improvements in the business in 2022, which have shown results in our year-to-date performance, and we expect will combine with further operational improvements going forward to deliver continued progress in 2023. We believe our Medicare Advantage business will have additional tailwinds from solid organic growth, early AEP growth ahead of expectations, and pricing benefits into 2023. Our current cost structure for our MA business already supports Adjusted EBITDA profitability at our forecasted MCR next year. Looking out to 2023, we're excited about our balanced portfolio of differentiated offerings and its ability to drive value and serve as a platform for sustainable and profitable growth in the future. It's worth repeating that we have demonstrated and continue to believe that when you connect and align the best local resources in healthcare delivery with the financing of care, you get the best outcomes. This is at the heart of our value-driven business model. While we are excited for the future, I want to acknowledge that this is a very challenging time for our team, given the significant changes we are making. We are very fortunate to have a dedicated team of amazing professionals that I have the privilege to work with every day. To our amazing team, I want to thank you for what you've done to help build the foundation of this company. We continue to believe we will make healthcare right together. Operator, let's take the first question. Thank you. If you would like to ask a question, please press star followed by one on your telephone keypad. If for any reason you would like to remove that question, please press star followed by two. As a reminder, if you are using a speakerphone, please remember to pick up your handset before asking your question. We kindly ask that you keep to one question and one follow-up. Thank you. Our first question today comes from the line of Nathan Rich from Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead. Your line is now open. Hi. Good morning. Thanks for the questions. Maybe just starting with direct contracting and that moving into ACO REACH. You know, you noted it was profitable this year, and you expect it to remain profitable in 2023. Are there any considerations from a revenue or profitability standpoint with respect to transition to ACO REACH, especially with, you know, the caps on risk score growth that we should keep in mind when thinking about the profitability of that program next year? No, I wouldn't say any change from what we've discussed for 2022. Anything you're thinking? Yeah, no. Nathan, as we've shared before, we've got great affiliate partners and providers that are performing very, very well ahead of benchmarks. We're running EBITDA profitable this year and the team's very prepared for next year into that move to ACO REACH. I think we would say we're very excited about it. Great. If I could just follow up on your MLR expectations for next year. I think you guided to modest improvement versus the 90-92 range for this year. I guess, how are you thinking about kind of a potential normalization of utilization as we move into next year? You know, are you seeing any signs of, you know, pent-up demand or anything like that in the market? Could you maybe also talk about your expectations around flu and COVID as we get into the fourth quarter of the year? Let's start with just the expectation. We'll get much more into detail when we get you know, our enrollment for expectation for the year set. Of course, we're in the middle of AEP and OEP, so I don't wanna get too specific because mix does impact us. With respect to the guidance on MCR, as you know, we've got really three kind of core components that build up the MCR. Our senior managed care business in California, our DCE business, which as you know right for 2022 is booked at 98%, so it has a higher medical care ratio. Then we've got our risk-based arrangements within NeueHealth. Depending on mix, that's gonna vary, but when you look at the mix of business without the ACA insurance business, which is lower than our enterprise ratio. When that goes away, coupled with the growth of DCE, with the improved Medicare Advantage business, that's how you get to what we say is a modest improvement based on the enrollment targets that we put out there for 2023 year to date. We're optimistic on those, and believe you know, we're gonna be able to deliver on them, but that will impact our MCR for next year. In terms of pent-up demand, you know, we really haven't seen it. You know, as we've seen utilization to be very stable throughout 2022, that was a big core driver of our improved performance year-over-year. Our medical and cost initiatives have met our expectations or outperformed throughout the year. We really haven't seen that. Medicare Advantage, as we talked about, is utilization mid to high single digits down year-over-year, IFP even higher than that. Utilization has been down or stable, if you will, throughout the year, and we expect so far that to remain into the fourth quarter. With respect to flu and COVID, you know, we don't really note that there are reports of increased flu out there, but, you know, we expect a normal season, and that's what's baked into our numbers for the fourth quarter. Thanks, Nathan. Great. Thank you. Thank you. The next question today comes from the line of Joshua Raskin from Nephron Research. Please go ahead. Your line is now open. Hi. Thanks. Good morning. I was wondering if you could just give us some overview expectations for NeueHealth next year. You know, I'd be curious if that's part of the EBITDA profitability expectation and, you know, maybe in totality, we don't need the specifics on DCE versus the others. Then maybe sort of value-based care membership expectations and how much of that change next year is Bright HealthCare exit related? Well, I appreciate the question, Josh. Good morning. We put guidance out there early to make sure that your models are updated. You know, we're targeting 85-90 thousand value-based lives, you know, next year. That's a strong growth of our external book of business from this year. Obviously, with the ACA marketplace insurance business for Bright Healthcare going away, you know, that's the biggest degradation year-over-year. We're optimistic that we're gonna recapture a fair amount of those lives, but at this point, we think we've got a prudent outlook for now. We'll get more into that as we get out of AEP, Josh, and give updated guidance in January. I can't remember the second part. Yeah. The profitability, our expectations there is as we've shared before, Josh, our current DCE moving into ACO REACH is performing well. We expect it to be profitable this year and into next. As Mike just shared, all of the third-party payer lives that NeueHealth serves are performing well, and we continue to expect to grow that. Josh, this year, I mean, our external NeueHealth book of business is strong. You know, we're performing well for our external payers and partnerships. We're excited about the profitability outlook of that business, not only for 2022 but continued into 2023. Okay. Could you just remind me fourth quarter MLR. You know, the guidance implies an increase in four Q relative to what you've got year to date. Can you just remind me the seasonal reasons for that? You know, 'cause I'm thinking of the exchanges as high deductible health plans and I'm assuming maybe that's it. Yeah. It's really the seasonality of the fourth quarter for the deductible wear-off that we see every year. That's really you know, the reason for it. I would say somewhere in the mid-nineties is what we're expecting for Q4, which again, when you look at it on a year-over-year basis, year to date, Josh, and when you normalize our medical loss ratio for risk adjustment and medical costs to put them in the right periods, we continue to track year-over-year on a year to date basis, and expect this in the fourth quarter to be somewhere between 1,000 and 1,200 basis points improved year-over-year. That's the three major factors that we talked about you know, last year or coming into this year was driving medical cost initiatives. The fact that COVID, we priced for COVID, and COVID was a much meaningful, more bigger impact for us last year. The improvement year-over-year in risk adjustment that we've seen, especially in Florida, 20%, North Carolina, 20% improved year-over-year. When you take those three factors into consideration, that's what's driving the normalized year-over-year improvement of that, of around 1,000 to 1,200 basis points, which is in line with the guidance that we provided earlier today. All right. Really just the deductibles, nothing else to think about in terms of uptick there. No. Thank you. Thanks, Josh. Thank you. The next question today comes from the line of Steven Valiquette from Barclays. Please go ahead. Is it too early to talk about the quarterly cadence of EBITDA for 2023, just in light of your target for, you know, 2023 profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis? You know, are we talking about profitability just in the fourth quarter, you know, and then still losses in the first half? Just, you know, just trying to sort of parse out how many of the quarters of next year will be profitable EBITDA. It might be too early, but just any preliminary thoughts might help as I just try to pattern out the quarters for next year. Thanks. Yeah, I appreciate the question, Stephen. It's a little early for us to get that specific. If you would indulge us, and we'll be prepared to update you in January on that. It's too preliminary for that today, but I do appreciate the question. Okay. Just for you. Josh, maybe I would add on to that. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Sorry, Stephen. I was gonna add on to that question or to that, responses. As you can imagine, we've got a pretty significant change in our cost structure, as we exit the ACA insurance business and the MA business in the other states, that is in California. We're well underway in the plans for that business cost structure change year-over-year, which will help that cost come down pretty quickly. Okay. Just maybe a quick follow-up sort of on Josh's question as well, but the NeueHealth segment continues to be somewhat tricky to model on a quarterly basis. You know, there are a lot of swings from quarter to quarter, but you know, just kind of thinking ahead, for 2023, you know, are there always gonna be certain quarters that are not gonna be profitable within NeueHealth? Maybe just remind us too, what's the long-term margin target for NeueHealth as well, notwithstanding the quarterly volatility. Thanks. Well, let's talk. The quarterly volatility is impacted by the same things that are impacted by the Bright HealthCare book, principally, and that is, as we entered into Florida last year, the volatility in there is, you know, given the fact that it's on a risk basis or a capitated basis, that the impact to Bright HealthCare flows through to NeueHealth. The volatility that we saw in Bright HealthCare, we saw in NeueHealth in 2021 and in 2022, and that really comes from the adjustments that we're making through risk adjustment. As we become more mature, as we understand the book of business, over time, I expect that volatility to go down. Of course, you don't see that same impact in our Medicare book of business, which is performing really well for us. Over time, we won't see that level of volatility, and we'll get more into targets and you know, long-term profit targets and all of that as we roll out in January, Steven. We'll update you more at that time. Got it. Okay. All right. Thanks. Thank you. The next question today comes from the line of Lisa Gill from JPMorgan Chase. Please go ahead. Your line is now open. Great. Thanks very much, and thanks for taking the question. Just really wanted to start with one on Medicare Advantage. Mike, I think you talked about that early numbers look good as far as enrollment goes in California. Do you have any idea around one, disenrollment? And then secondly, as we think about stars for 2024, you know, what are some of the things that you plan to do to mitigate some of the star ratings for 2024? Okay. Lisa, can we go back to the first? Did you ask about disenrollments for MA? Is that what you were asking? Yeah. That's what's your anticipation of disenrollment for MA? You said, you know, initial numbers are coming in good as far as enrollments go, but just curious in California, what's your initial expectation for disenrollment? Well. Kind of a net number, Mike. You know, it's yeah. The net number is we believe is net net favorable. But as you know, Lisa, over the last couple years, we've grown our Medicare Advantage book of business in California about 40% in total. So it's significantly grown over the last several years. I would characterize 2023 as we'll continue to grow and take share, but it will be nowhere near the growth that we've seen in years past. That's part of the work that we're doing, 'cause we're really focused on integrating the business, which we started earlier this year, and we're well along the way in 2022. That will continue into 2023 as we, you know, prepare the business for continued growth. We see significant opportunities throughout the state of California with our care partners, so we're really excited about that. With respect to disenrollment, with that growth over the last couple years came pretty high levels of disenrollment compared to a stable book of business. In 2023 so far, AEP, we've seen less disenrollment. While I won't break it out separately, I can tell you net, we expect net growth. We're not seeing the level of disenrollment we've seen over the last couple years, just given the first year impact of that heavy growth. Hopefully that answers your question. That does. Then my other question was just around how to think about 2024 stars. I mean, you know, are there things that you can do to mitigate that going into 2024? Yeah. Of course, our whole company is focused on stars. We understand the importance of it, and we were impacted just like others were with some of the change of the focus on caps and what have you. But a lot of our star, you know, call it performance, has been, you know, the significant growth that we've seen. While we don't want to use that as an excuse, it's a reality. The first year or two with that level of growth, we were impacted on some of our scores that rolled up to our stars rating. But as we mature, as we understand the book of business and serve consumers longer and build deeper relationships and really focus, we've done a lot of work on our front-end communication and technology with our consumers. We really believe we're gonna see improved performance, and our target is to be a four-star plus, at least four star. We believe with that's in our line of sight to be achieved in the future. Okay, great. Thank you. Thanks, Lisa. Thank you. The next question today comes from the line of Michael Ha from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead. Your line is now open. Thank you, guys. Maybe a quick question for Cathy first, just on capital position. Does the $221 million in non-regulated cash include the fully drawn $350 credit facility? Yeah. Yes, we are fully drawn on our facility, but remember, we had the $220 million on the balance sheet at the end of the third quarter, Michael, and then we closed shortly thereafter on the $175 million Series B. In aggregate, $400 million, we are fully drawn on the facility. Remember, we also expect $250 million plus coming back from risk-based capital starting obviously after working with regulators, but early into next year and beyond. Got it. The 254 capital release, I think last quarter or the last update call, you mentioned 6-18 months, beginning middle of next year. 6-18 months feels like a wide range for claims runout. How does that work? I know claims lag generally, you know three months, I believe. But how much longer does it typically take to, you know, pay out claims inventory runout? Well, it's gonna vary by states, and of course, we're working with the state, the regulators, as we wind down, serve the continued membership that we have today. Then, you know, by the end of the first quarter, we'll be 90%-ish complete on claims. We'll be engaged with regulators on release of that capital. It'll be staged over time. Some, we believe that, some states will be more proactive early and some will, you know, tail on for a period of time, but that's why we give the broader range because every state has different policy with respect to, you know, the wind down or exit of insurance, you know, business, if you will. Got it. If I may, one more. Just on technology platform, just in light of the strategic update, restructuring, you know, push for profitability next year, have you? Plans changed on the rebuild that you started earlier this year, or just any thoughts there? Well, the core of our technology, which is really what enables our fully aligned care model, which is connecting, you know, patients to their doctor and have a whole patient record, and then having the tools to be able to manage population for our affiliate providers. Whether we own and operate or employ the docs or we affiliate like we do in DCE, that technology has not changed. In terms of our core claim platform and how we're thinking about that going forward, especially Medicare Advantage, we continue to evolve that, but that's not what I would consider to be our differentiation. Our differentiation is really, you know, what is enabling our fully aligned care model, and that has not changed. We'll again get more in detail with that in January as we update all of you on our go-forward business. Thank you. Thanks, Michael. Thank you. The next question today comes from the line of Kevin Fischbeck from Bank of America. Please go ahead. Your line is now open. Okay, great. Thanks. I just wanted to go to your operating cost guidance for next year. Obviously it's a nice improvement year over year, but my guess is that the operating cost numbers are just different by segment. Do you have, like, what that number would look like this year if you were only operating in MA and NeueHealth, just to see how much progress needs to happen within, you know, the ongoing businesses going forward? In aggregate, I don't wanna get into that because the cohort mix will impact it. I would say if you look at the core of MA and DCE, yes, we know. As I said, if we believe with our MCR targets that we price to and that we believe we will manage to in both DCE and MA, we will be profitable, with the cost structure that we have today. NeueHealth is of course evolving because of the shift away from the ACA, marketplace insurance business from Bright HealthCare, and there are moving parts depending on if you're managing the Medicare business versus the consumer marketplace or Medicaid. I don't wanna get too far along into that. Today, you know, the core part of our premium revenue is at the cost structure that we have today would be profitable at our MCR targets next year. Okay. Then I guess maybe just to that point about, you know, how much membership you get to keep from the external, from the internal business that's gonna move to external next year. Is there some way to think about that, like, as far as what percentage of health plans in those markets you're in-network in? Are you only in-network with 10 or 20% of them or are you in-network with 60% of them? Is there some way to think about how that looks? Yeah, of course, we'll be much more explicit with this in January. Again, it's a little early because we have been given our announcement last month, we've been signing and adding new external payer partners, which we're really excited about the interest level. So we've got a strong core set of partners that we're aligning with and you know, we're ahead of ourselves in terms of how much we think we will recapture, but we think it's a significant opportunity. Here's why. You know, if you look at our performance within our integrated model, we perform you know, better than the you know, general fee-for-service marketplace. Today, Florida, as we've talked about, we believe you know, long term, we can perform 15%-20% better than the marketplace in terms of risk-adjusted medical costs. We're doing that today in our Florida book of business, and we're seeing strong results in Texas as well. We've got a great value proposition for our partnership with our payers. It was a great consumer experience with a high NPS, so we're really excited about it. Of course, it's early and just given the recency of our announcement, I don't wanna get too far ahead of that. We will be talking about that in more detail, Kevin, but just rest assured we have a core set of payer partners that we're working with, and we're excited about our prospects going forward. All right. Thanks. Thank you. The final question today comes from the line of Gary Taylor from Cowen. Please go ahead. Your line is now open. Hi. Good morning. Two quick things. One, Cathy, I just wanted to catch that PDR release in the quarter again. I didn't catch that when you ran through it. Then my other question is, can you update us on claims inventory, claims processing? You know, I know you've been working on your systems, but there were quite some delays in the 3Q last year. Is there any way to give us a stat, like in the third quarter medical expense this year, you know, X amount of those dollars are yet unprocessed at the end of the quarter versus the prior year? Just some way to give us some update on kinda how you're moving through the claims inventories. Yeah. Maybe later on we can get into the detail of Cathy, and Steven can follow you up on specifics, but I'll give you more of the highlights of it. This is obviously a core focus of the business. Last year, as you know, Gary, we started off the year behind operationally. It took us till, you know, at least midyear to get going, and we had a significant amount of claim activity in the fourth quarter. I think between kind of the beginning of the fourth quarter and January, we processed about 50% of our claims last year. We're not even close to that this year. We're back. We were caught up at the beginning of the year, and we processed claims consistently and in a stable environment throughout the year. Our claim receipts, our claim process, and our claim inventory have been stable all year, which obviously improves our predictability for the year. We're really pleased with the outcomes of that. That work really began late last year into the beginning of this year and that's been a big contributor to our improved performance. Kathy, you wanna talk about PDR? Yeah. For PDR, as you would expect when we set up that loss contract, you know, we did it at the end of last year. We had $79 million come through this quarter, and we said that we have $61 million remaining going into the fourth quarter. Thank you. Thanks, Gary. I believe that was the last question. I wanna thank everyone for your time today and your interest in Bright Health Group. We look forward to updating you again, you know, in the January, February timeframe. Thanks. Thank you. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you all for your participation. You may now disconnect your lines.
