“MVP ended the year in a very strong position, growing membership, reducing expenses and investing in a multi-year transformation of our business to better serve our members,” Christopher Del Vecchio, executive vice president of strategy and innovation at MVP Health Care, said in the release.

Membership in its Medicaid managed-care programs also grew about 20 percent last year, the health insurer added.
