A managed care giant is working with a smaller competitor to woo the U.S. Department of Defense.
UnitedHealth Group Inc., Minnetonka, Minn., says its new military and veterans health services unit will be teaming with the federal services arm of Health Net Inc., Woodland Hills, Calif., to bid for TriCare contracts.
TriCare is a Defense Department program that administers health coverage for 9.1 million military personnel, retirees and dependents.
