Summit Home Care operates multiple locations throughout Delaware, according to an April 19 news release from M&A Healthcare Advisors, a firm representing Summit in the transaction. The acquisition price was not disclosed in the release. 

UnitedHealth Group’s $5.4 billion acquisition of Lafayette, La.-based home health firm LHC Group closed in February. LHC employs about 30,000 people, including front-line care providers and administrative and support personnel. Many of LHC’s home-health and hospice operations are owned in partnership with hospital systems across 37 states and more than 960 locations.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
