National Market Presence
National Market Footprint
| State | Market Share | Premium Written | Estimated Members |
|---|---|---|---|
| ME | 0.09% | $4.99M | 863 |
| OK | 0.02% | $2.40M | 411 |
| National Total | — | $7.39M | 1.3K |
TARO HLTH GRP's premium is concentrated across just a couple of states, with $4.99M written in ME and $2.40M in OK, totaling $7.39M nationally. The estimated membership base is 1.3K, reflecting a compact footprint that is focused rather than widely distributed. For provider contracting, this concentration means negotiations will be most impactful when targeted to the payer's strong states rather than a nationwide approach.
Given the compact scale — premiums in the single-digit millions and membership in the low thousands — the payer is likely to prioritize depth of network and cost controls within these states rather than broad multi-state network expansion. Providers considering this payer should weigh the value of dedicating contracting resources to a partner with concentrated regional exposure.
State-by-State Market Position
TARO HLTH GRP shows its strongest presence in the Northeast and parts of the South by virtue of its reported states: Maine in the Northeast and Oklahoma in the South-Central region. The most significant premium weight is in Maine with $4.99M, while Oklahoma contributes $2.40M, indicating a greater regional emphasis in the Northeast.
This geographic distribution — a small number of states with meaningful share rather than a dispersed footprint — suggests multi-state provider groups should assess the payer on a state-by-state basis. For groups operating in both Maine and Oklahoma, the payer represents a modest but tangible partner; for broader national networks, TARO HLTH GRP's scale is unlikely to drive systemwide strategies given its concentrated premium and modest membership.

Nationally, the largest age bands for TARO HLTH GRP are 55–64 (201 members), 35–44 (174 members), and 45–54 (172 members), indicating a concentration in middle-aged and older adults. The pediatric population (Under 6 and 6–18) is also significant, with 252 members combined, while the senior population (65–74 and 75+) totals 215 members.
Maine skews slightly older, with higher counts in the 55–64, 65–74, and 75+ bands compared to Oklahoma.

This state-level variation may influence care delivery priorities and provider resource allocation.
Estimated Members by State
TARO HLTH GRP operates in two states: Maine and Oklahoma. Maine has the highest estimated member count at 863, while Oklahoma has 411. This distribution aligns with Maine's higher market share (0.09%) and premium volume ($4,992,874), compared to Oklahoma's lower market share (0.02%) and premium ($2,399,773).
Despite not being top-ranked in either state, TARO HLTH GRP's member concentration in Maine suggests a stronger foothold in the Northeast, while Oklahoma represents a smaller, yet notable, presence in the Southwest. For providers, this means that contracting strategies and care delivery models may need to be tailored to the specific member volume and demographic mix in each state.
The geographic concentration in Maine may offer providers greater leverage in negotiations, while Oklahoma's smaller member base may require more targeted outreach and engagement strategies. Understanding these state-level dynamics is crucial for optimizing provider relationships and care outcomes for TARO HLTH GRP members.
