UnitedHealth subsidiary SCA Health acquired one of the largest gastroenterology physician group practices in the U.S. in early 2025 from a private equity firm, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Aug. 19.
SCA acquired Exton, Pa.-based U.S. Digestive Health from Amulet Capital Partners in January without an announcement, according to the report. The Inquirer learned of the sale from a retired physician. UnitedHealth Group confirmed the deal and said SCA’s acquisition will “allow U.S. Digestive Health to continue providing digestive care excellence in every community they serve, while advancing our shared efforts to provide quality-driven, high-value and innovative care.”
U.S. Digestive Health employs more than 149 physicians and provides services at 24 ambulatory surgery centers in Pennsylvania and Delaware, according to the report.
The sale price was not disclosed.
U.S. Digestive Health was formed in 2019 by Amulet in partnership with member practice partner physicians.
