The integrated health care organization remains steadfast in its mission to provide high-quality, affordable care and coverage while improving community health.

For the quarter ending September 30, 2022, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and their subsidiaries (KFHP/H) reported total operating revenues of $24.3 billion and total operating expenses of $24.3 billion, compared to total operating revenues of $23.2 billion and total operating expenses of $23.1 billion in the same period of the prior year. There was an operating loss of $75 million for the third quarter compared to operating income of $38 million in the third quarter of 2021. Other income and expense had a quarterly loss totaling $1.5 billion, driven largely by investment market conditions. Other income and expense totaled $1.5 billion in the same quarter last year. For the third quarter of 2022, there was a net loss of $1.5 billion compared to $1.6 billion net income in the third quarter of 2021.

“I am proud of our ability to navigate the challenges of the past few years including a global economic crisis, the high cost of goods and services, supply chain issues, labor shortages, and the pandemic while serving our 12.6 million members,” said chair and chief executive officer Greg A. Adams. “I continue to be inspired by the unwavering commitment and dedication of our Kaiser Permanente teams who through this unprecedented and unpredictable 3-year period continue to provide high-quality, affordable care and service to our members and communities.”

Membership
Kaiser Permanente’s membership remains steady as of September 30, 2022, with 12.6 million members, reflecting growth of nearly 40,000 members since December 31, 2021.

“Kaiser Permanente’s integrated model of care and coverage continues to provide long-term stability amid changing market conditions,” said executive vice president and chief financial officer Kathy Lancaster. “In the third quarter of 2022, we remained committed to our members, patients, and the communities we serve while controlling spending and investing in our capital program.”
