Humana pact ‘gives it an edge’ over CVS in bidding for Cano Health

Market analysts say that Humana Inc. has better odds than CVS Health Corp. of acquiring Cano Health because the insurer already has a right-of-refusal agreement with the company and a huge position in the Medicare Advantage market, Becker’s Hospital Review reports. Whoever wins the bidding war will gain a strong foothold in senior primary care, as about 44% of Cano Health's patients are on Medicare Advantage, the report says.
