Cigna has agreed to sell its Medicare business to Health Care Service Corporation for roughly $3.7 billion, the health insurer announced Wednesday.
HCSC is acquiring Cigna’s Medicare Advantage, supplemental benefits and Medicare Part D plans, along with CareAllies, a division that helps providers transition to value-based care. In total, the plans cover 3.6 million people on Medicare.
The companies said they expect the deal — which includes $3.3 billion in cash and $400 million in capital Cigna expects to be freed up — to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approval.
The deal marks a major step forward in Medicare for Chicago-based HCSC, which operates employer, individual and family and Medicare and Medicaid plans in five states.
