Abstract generation in progress

Humana’s CenterWell has acquired MaxHealth, a network of 54 primary care clinics and other healthcare services in Florida, serving over 120,000 patients. This acquisition expands CenterWell’s reach and is part of a growing trend of vertical integration in the healthcare payer market. While payers argue vertical integration improves care coordination, critics are concerned about potential price increases, reduced patient choice, and payers potentially manipulating medical loss ratios.
