Home Health Care News December 11, 2024
After terminating its contract with UnitedHealth Group’s (NYSE: UNH) UnitedHealthcare back in August, Enhabit Inc. (NYSE: EHAB) has recently reached a new home health agreement with the insurer.
On Tuesday, Enhabit CEO Barb Jacobsmeyer shed some light on the new agreement during a fireside chat at the BofA Securities 2024 Home Care Conference.
“We’ve been kind of in the works with United for quite a while, and we were pleased to be able to get into an agreement,” she said. “I will say that while the contract is not going to be considered a payer innovation contract — the contract did allow us to have a creative benefit, considering the size of UnitedHealthcare.”
