- Thursday, September 20, 2012, 11:38 AM More on Questcor (QCOR +8.4%) conference call: COO Steve Cartt says insurance reimbursement for Acthar was already complicated before Aetna's (AET) coverage limitations, but QCOR is experienced in securing coverage for appropriate patients. "We anticipate that insurance coverage for Acthar will continue to be available" for the right patients." Comment! [Healthcare, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 12:35 PM Questcor's (QCOR -38.5%) weakness a buying opportunity , says Leerink Swann. The firm says it's confirmed with Aetna (AET -0.3%) that Acthar is reimbursed as a second tier drug, and Acthar sales are still seeing more prescriptions written. 4 Comments [Healthcare, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 10:31 AM Questcor (QCOR -34.5%) is getting hammered this morning on another negative report from Citron Research. Citron is saying that Aetna (AET -0.5%) has dropped almost all coverage of QCOR's drug Achtar for treating multiple sclerosis and nephrotic symdrome, saying that studies found no proof of efficacy to substantiate reimbursement. It will, however, continue to provide reimbursement when treating infantile spasms. 4 Comments [Healthcare, On the Move]
- Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 5:23 PM Aetna (AET) reaffirms its FY12 EPS guidance of $5 - $5.10, in line with consensus estimates of $5.08. The company also says operating EPS will be higher in Q3, and it remains confident in its FY12 Commercial medical cost trend projections, pricing and forecasting assumptions and the adequacy of its reserves. Comment! [Healthcare, Earnings]
- Friday, September 7, 2012, 12:49 PM Stock buybacks are nice, but history suggests companies tend to do so just when profits (and the share price) are at their plumpest. Here are a few companies buying back shares trading at a discount to the market multiple: AET, DELL, HPQ, STX, WDC, LLL, NOC, GME. 1 Comment [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, August 31, 2012, 3:38 PM Aetna (AET -0.8%) reached an agreement earlier today for multi-year contract extension with WellStar Health System. Under the terms of the agreement, members of AET's commercial plans will be able to continue to receive covered services, at in-network rates, from WellStar's hospitals and physicians in the greater Atlanta area. Comment! [Healthcare]
- Monday, August 27, 2012, 3:27 PM The benefits from a Deutsche upgrade are marginal for Coventry Health Care (CVH +0.5%) today, as the firm takes the shares from a Sell to a Hold following the Aetna (AET +0.9%) merger announcement last week. The firm notes its prior Sell rating had been based on the view that CVH's commercial business was likely to face ongoing margin pressures due to its insufficient scale, but the merger should create a stronger competitor than a stand-alone CVH. Comment! [Healthcare]
- Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 9:43 AM Daniel Loeb may chastise Pres. Obama, says Andrew Ross Sorkin, but look at Loeb's recent investments: Aetna (AET), Cigna (CI), Humana (HUM), UnitedHealth (UNH) and WellPoint (WLP) stand to benefit if Obamacare remains in force, while a repeal could send shares diving. Like others, Sorkin reckons industry consolidation represents multi-billion dollar bets that the Health Act is here to stay. Comment! [Healthcare]
- Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 8:53 AM SA author Valuentum says of Aetna's (AET) $7.3B deal to acquire Coventry Health Care (CVH) that "it's hard not to like a deal that will add strong earnings growth at a reasonable multiple/price." While management denies that the purchase is politically motivated, "we think it's safe to say the company feels Medicaid, as well as the Affordable Healthcare Act, is here to stay." Comment! [Healthcare, M&A]
- Monday, August 20, 2012, 6:18 AM More on Aetna (AET) / Coventry (CVH) deal: Coventry shareholders will receive $27.30 in cash and 0.3885 Aetna common shares for each Coventry share, or $42.08/share. That's a 20% premium to Coventry's closing price on Friday, and its shares are +18.1% premarket. Deal adds over 5M members to Aetna and increases revenues from government to over 30% from 23%. To bring synergies of $400M/year in 2015. (PR) Comment! [M&A, Top Stories, Healthcare]
- Monday, August 20, 2012, 6:06 AM Aetna (AET) confirms a report that it has agreed to acquire Coventry Health Care (CVH), with the deal valued at $7.3B, including the assumption of Coventry's debt. (PR) 5 Comments [Healthcare, M&A, Top Stories, Breaking News]
- Monday, August 20, 2012, 12:29 AM An apparent deal to buy Coventry Health Care (CVH) for $5.7B will make Aetna (AET) one of the biggest providers of Medicare and Medicaid plans.

- Tuesday, July 31, 2012, 2:04 PM Shares of Humana (HUM -13%) get slammed this morning, a day after the managed-care provider missed the mark on Q2 earnings and cut its profit outlook for the year. The dismal report is taking down more than one insurer that otherwise might have had an up day: Aetna (AET -1.9%), WellPoint (WLP -3.5%), UnitedHealth (UNH -3%). 3 Comments [Healthcare, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 31, 2012, 9:00 AM More on Aetna (AET +3.7%) Q2: net profit sinks 15% to $457.6M as increased medical claims offset a 114K rise in membership Q/Q to 18M, and higher Y/Y revenue.
