HCSC, Elevance Compete for Cigna Medicare Advantage Unit

One of the US’s largest managers of pharmacy benefits, Cigna also offers comprehensive medical coverage, including through private Medicare Advantage plans sold to people over the age of 65. It’s a relatively minor player in that market, with fewer than 600,000 Medicare Advantage enrollees as of March, according to data from health researcher KFF.

Cigna’s Medicare Advantage business is on track to lose money this year and next, according to confidential numbers shared with potential buyers, the people said.

there were rumors at one point of Walgreens looking to merge with Cigna to form a similar business model to CVS. I think this was mostly due to the new CEO Tim Wentworth having ties to Cigna.

As far as I know, the rumors are unfounded, but an interesting thought nonetheless
