Medicaid Market Heats Up, Consolidation Drives Growth Among Leading Insurers, AIS Research Shows
PRWeb - Thu Sep 01, 5:04AM CDT
The top 10 Medicaid insurers in the U.S. represent 57% of the managed Medicaid market, according to research in the Atlantic Information Services, Inc.'s (AIS) recently released Medicare and Medicaid Market Data -- a number that's sure to keep growing amid industry consolidations. Four of the top 10 companies have been involved with mergers and acquisitions that would allow them to scoop up even more of the market, AIS research shows. While the proposed merger of Anthem Inc. and Cigna Corp. -- currently being contested by the Department of Justice (DOJ) -- would not add significant Medicaid lives to Anthem, Aetna could stand to gain more than 400,000 Medicaid lives if its proposed merger with Humana survives its own DOJ lawsuit, according to AIS.
