UnitedHealth to acquire Catamaran for USD12.8b
(MENAFN) UnitedHealth Group said it will acquire smaller rival Catamaran for USD12.8 billion, a move that would give them more pricing power in the pharmacy benefits business, The Peninsula Qatar reported.
UnitedHealth will combine Catamaran with its own pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) OptumRx, which would propel the combined company to third place in the industry behind Express Scripts and CVS Caremark.
"This combination is expected to create a dynamic competitor in the PBM market by combining the strengths of Catamaran's industry-leading technology platform with the data and analytics capabilities of Optum," the two said.
