Walgreen Co. and Humana Inc. are reportedly in preliminary talks
to take equity stakes in one another. This past summer, the two companies
unveiled a partnership aimed at providing easier access to primary care and
other services for seniors in the Kansas City, Mo., area. As of Aug. 31, 2018,
Walgreens owned 9,560 drugstores in total across all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. With almost 3.3 million
Medicare beneficiaries, Humana holds a 17.7% market share in the Medicare
Advantage (MA) market nationwide, and it dominates in Mississippi and Louisiana
with more than 60% market share.
