UnitedHealth buying home health care provider in $3.3B deal

UnitedHealth Group has struck a deal to acquire home health care provider Amedisys Inc. for $3.3 billion in an all-cash deal.

UnitedHealth's Optum unit made the unsolicited bid earlier this month for Amedisys, which at the time had already agreed to a $2.8 billion merger with Illinois-based Option Care Health.

A UnitedHealth spokeswoman on Tuesday declined to comment.
