Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente reported higher revenues and operating income for its nonprofit hospital and health plan units in the first quarter of 2018, according to recently released financial documents.
Kaiser saw revenues increase to $20.3 billion in the first quarter of this year. That's up about 12 percent from revenues of $18.1 billion in the same period of 2017.
The boost was attributable in part to the system's health plan unit. Since Dec. 31, Kaiser has added approximately 472,000 health plan members. As of March 31, Kaiser had about 12.2 million members.
Kaiser reported operating income of $1.1 billion in the first quarter of this year, up from $935 million in the same period of 2017.
After factoring in nonoperating income, which declined year over year, Kaiser ended the first quarter of 2018 with net income of $1.4 billion. That's compared to the same period of 2017, when the organization reported net income of $1.6 billion.
