Cigna Agrees to Buy Healthspring to Expand Medicare Business
Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Cigna Corp., the fifth-largest U.S. insurer, agreed to buy Healthspring Inc., a health-maintenance organization, for $3.8 billion in cash to triple the number of Medicare customers it serves.
Healthspring investors will receive $55 a share, Cigna, based in Bloomfield, Connecticut, and Healthspring said in a statement today. The offer represents a 37 percent premium over Healthspring's Oct. 21 closing price.
Medicare managed-care plans are among the fastest-growing products for the health-insurance industry as the baby-boom generation ages. The purchase of Franklin, Tennessee-based Healthspring adds 1.17 million customers served by Medicare, the U.S. health plan for the elderly and disabled, in 11 states and Washington, D.C., according to the statement.
