M&A

CVS Health has acquired Medicare Advantage broker platform Hella Health. 

More mergers and acquisitions are a key part of Molina Healthcare's future strategy, executives told investors. 

A merger between Humana and Cigna could still be in the cards according to one analyst, Bloomberg reported April 22. 

Elevance Health will enter a partnership with private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice to develop advanced primary care models. 

Elevance Health plans to acquire Centers Plan for Healthy Living, a New York-based Medicaid long-term care plan. 

From CVS Health acquiring a Medicare Advantage broker platform to Elevance buying Kroger's speciality pharmacy business, here are nine payer merger and acquisition updates that Becker's reported since March 15: 

Optum could soon purchase Steward's physician group, a clinic chain in Oregon and home health provider Amedisys.

Elevance Health has closed the divestiture of its disability, accidental death and dismemberment, absence management, and paid family leave businesses to the Standard. 

Payers are continuing to snap up providers. 

Oregon regulators will open a review into UnitedHealth Group's proposed acquisition of Amedisys, after a preliminary report found the deal could hurt competition in the state's markets.
