National Market Presence

|---|---|---|---|
| ID | 14.31% | $921M | 198K |
| OR | 10.73% | $2.73B | 314K |

Cambia's premium is highly concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West, with total reported premium of $7.97B across the four states where it operates. The largest premiums are in Washington ($2.98B) and Oregon ($2.73B), while membership totals are concentrated in Washington (504K) and Utah (330K). This concentration supports regional negotiating leverage with major provider systems in those states but limits national bargaining power.
For national payers or large multi-state provider groups, Cambia's footprint suggests focused contracting efforts will be most effective when targeted to the four states where the payer has scale. Providers operating across broader geographies should expect Cambia to be a significant local counterparty in the West but not a dominant national partner.
State-by-State Market Position
Cambia's strongest presence is in the West. The Western region (specifically the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West) shows the clearest concentration of market share and premium, with Idaho at 14.31% market share, Utah at 11.71%, Oregon at 10.73%, and Washington at 8.89%. These four states are contiguous and form a geographic cluster that favors regional provider networks and shared management of care pathways.
There is minimal to no presence in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, or Southwest in the supplied data. For multi-state health systems and provider groups, this distribution means that contracting teams should prioritize relationship depth and value-based arrangements in the Western corridor where Cambia controls meaningful premium and membership (e.g., $2.98B in WA, $2.73B in OR). National expansion or negotiation strategies with Cambia will need to be coordinated state-by-state within this cluster rather than relying on a uniform national contract.

No state skews dramatically older, but Washington and Oregon have higher absolute numbers in the senior bands due to their larger overall member counts.
Estimated Members by State
CAMBIA HEALTH SOLUTIONS INC's estimated member distribution is concentrated in Washington (503,942 members), followed by Utah (329,515), Oregon (314,336), and Idaho (198,127). This geographic concentration aligns with the payer's market share and premium volume in these states, reflecting their strong regional presence in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West.
Washington's dominance in member count is notable, as it holds the highest estimated membership despite not being the top-ranked state by market share (rank 5). Utah and Oregon also have substantial member bases, supporting robust provider networks and care delivery infrastructure. Idaho, while smaller in absolute member count, maintains a high market share (rank 3), indicating a strong local presence relative to population size.
For providers, this concentration means that contracting strategies and care delivery models should prioritize Washington, Utah, and Oregon, where member volumes are highest. Idaho's high market share suggests opportunities for deeper engagement and influence in local healthcare delivery. The payer's regional focus supports integrated care approaches and population health initiatives tailored to these states' demographic profiles.
