2. This puts the company $85.7 million in the hole for the year so far.

5. “We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry as there continues to be volatility across the healthcare sector,” said Umesh Kurpad, CFO of Point32Health. “Point32Health has sustained $213 million in medical costs related to COVID-19 treatment and vaccine administration in the first three quarters of this year.
