BENEFITS PAYABLE BENEFITS PAYABLE
Reserves for medical claims expenses are estimated using actuarial assumptions and recorded as Benefits payable liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assumptions for the estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are reviewed and any adjustments to reserves are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the estimates are updated.

The following table provides a rollforward of the Company’s beginning and ending benefits payable and claims adjustment expenses (“CAE”) payable balances for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Amounts incurred related to prior periods vary from previously estimated liabilities as more claim information becomes available and claims are ultimately settled. The favorable prior period development recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2026 resulted primarily from lower than expected paid claims for 2025.
