Hi, I noticed Aetna is offering 2 new PDP for 2019 in my market. I trust these will also be included in the spin off of all of their PDP business to WellCare effective 1/1/2019 (because of the FTC requirement to get approval for the CVS/Aetna merger).
Given the new Aetna plans are showing serious competition to the existing and other new plans available in my market, I suspect Aetna simply added the new plans to improve their price of the sale of the Aetna pdp's to WellCare. Let WellCare support them AND see if they can make a dime/break even on the commitment to service/support the new customers with these plans.
Given WellCare has also come to market for 2019 with a new aggressively priced pdp in several markets I expect their goal was at defer as much of the business going to Aetna (if the new business goes to Aetna, i expect it which would raise the closing price of the Aetna sale of their pdp business to WellCare).
Does the consumer win? Maybe if WellCare can both support the significant increase in the size of their customer base and if they can break even/make a dime on these lower premium/fill/refill plans.
Comments on this are appreciated.
