Amazon may make another multibillion-dollar healthcare buy
22 Aug 2022
The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg also mentioned UnitedHealth Group and CVS Health Corp. as potential buyers, citing people familiar with the manner. During Signify Health’s Q2 earnings call on Aug. 4, CEO Kyle Armbrester declined to discuss market speculation.
Dallas-based Signify Health provides clinical, social, and behavioral services to support value-based healthcare. It has a mobile network of 10,000 credentialed clinicians who provide in-home evaluations of Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plan members. New York-based private equity outfit New Mountain Capital is a significant investor.
About a month ago, Amazon announced plans to acquire primary care provider One Medical in a nearly $4 billion deal. Early this year, the mega-retailer said it was making its Amazon Care virtual health services available nationwide.
