News Update on Mergers (Aetna/Humana & Anthem/Cigna)

Lately, there has been a lot of attention in the news to the pending mergers between Aetna and Humana as well as Anthem and Cigna.  The latest news is about the federal suits to stop the mergers.  The main thing I want my clients to know is that with or without the mergers, their Medicare Plan will remain in place.  This will mainly pertain to Medicare Advantage Plans and Part D drug plans.  If there are going to be changes, they will occur at the Annual Election Period (AEP) where they can make a change if needed.  In addition, if the merger(s) proceed, it will be years not months.  As usual, I will help my clients with this.

Feel free to call me with any questions as this process continues.  David.
