Cigna Acquires Express Scripts for $67B
Cigna officially absorbed one of the largest PBMs this week with the $67 billion purchase of Express Scripts. The purchase gives Cigna significant leverage in a market in which insurers are increasingly partnering, acquiring, or being bought by PBMs. With Express, Cigna joins CVS, UnitedHealth and Humana and Anthem as the primary vertically integrated powerhouses in the insurance industry. Combined, Cigna and Express Scripts brought in more than $141 billion in revenues in 2017 and said that the merger will "dramatically accelerate the number and breadth of value-based relationships." "Today's closing represents a major milestone in Cigna's drive to transform our healthcare system for our customers, clients, partners and communities," Cigna President and CEO David M. Cordani said in a statement.
