Express Scripts To Acquire eviCore healthcare

Express Scripts Holding Company recently announced that it will acquire the privately-held eviCore healthcare for $3.6 billion. Express Scripts is acquiring eviCore from investors including General Atlantic, TA Associates, and Ridgemont Equity Partners. Express Scripts believes the acquisition will increase its earning per share in its first full year of operation.

The combination of Express Scripts’ independent pharmacy benefit management (PBM) model and eviCore’s medical cost containment capabilities will create a powerful partnership for their clients. This will differentiate Express Scripts and let the company take advantage of the transition to value-based care.
