Payers expanded their reach into the provider space through acquisitions in 2024.
Elevance Health picked up specialty care providers and launched a new foray into primary care. UnitedHealth Group’s Optum is still seeking to acquire home health company Amedisys, though regulators are challenging the deal.
Some major acquisitions fell apart in 2024 — in February, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana shelved plans to be acquired by Elevance Health after the proposed sale faced scrutiny from physicians and state officials.
