“This transaction is fully aligned with our mission of expanding access to quality health care by adding capabilities and deepening our geographic presence across the United States,” said Maurice Smith, HCSC’s CEO, President and Vice Chair. “We recognize that the health and wellness needs for older Americans are growing, and we plan to have an important role in helping seniors live healthier, fuller lives. We are excited to welcome our new Medicare members and the employees who will continue to help them achieve their best health.”
The Cigna Group will continue to provide pharmacy benefit services and other solutions to Medicare members through Evernorth Health Services as part of services agreements for an agreed period post-closing.
