Coventry Health recently decided that the First Health Medicaid operations do not fit in with the company's long-term strategy, according to Coventry Health Chief Executive Officer Allen Wise.
Coventry Health and Magellan, Avon, Conn., hope to get the regulatory approvals they need to complete the deal by Sept. 30. Coventry Health plans to use proceeds from the deal to pay off debt and buy back stock.
