How we calculated this grade →These claim figures are from plan year 2025, not 2026. UnitedHealthcare of Illinois, Inc. does not appear in the CMS Transparency in Coverage file for plan year 2026, so the most recent figures CMS has published for this insurer are the ones shown here. Illinois carriers left that file when the state moved to its own health-insurance marketplace for 2026; other insurers stop appearing when they exit the individual marketplace. The numbers below are unchanged and still describe the period they cover. They are simply not current-year, and are excluded from every national and state average on this site. See our methodology.
