On Aug. 12, Humana Inc. announced the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Inclusa, Inc. Inclusa is a managed care organization (MCO) in Wisconsin that offers long-term care services, supporting 16,600 older adults and adults with disabilities through Wisconsin’s Family Care program.
A press release on the announcement states that “As an MCO, Inclusa works with over 6,000 service providers in approximately 40 service categories and is contracted with the State of Wisconsin and permitted through the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance to provide Family Care services and supports in 68 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties.”
Inclusa has been working with local healthcare providers for over 20 years connecting members with support and services.
“The acquisition of Inclusa follows Humana’s 2020 acquisition of Wisconsin health care company iCare and will further increase the number of Medicaid recipients served by Humana, which currently totals approximately 1 million Medicaid members across five states—Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, South Carolina and Wisconsin,” the release adds.” Humana was also recently awarded contracts in Ohio and Louisiana.”
John Barger, Humana Medicaid president, was quoted in the release saying that “The long-term care services delivered by Inclusa and their contracted providers under Wisconsin’s Family Care program provide important assistance for eligible individuals that value their member-centered care model. We look forward to combining Inclusa’s and Humana’s expertise and capabilities to grow the Inclusa business and help even more people get the long-term care they
Mark Hilliker, Inclusa CEO was also quoted saying that “Since our founding in 2000, the mission of Inclusa has been to maximize health outcomes for our members by proactively partnering with others to build vibrant and inclusive communities in Wisconsin that offer people dignity, choice, and connections.”
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and the closing of the transaction is subject to customary state regulatory filings and other closing conditions.
Earlier that same week, on Aug. 11, Humana announced that its previously-announced transaction with private investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (“CD&R”) to divest a majority interest in the Hospice and Personal Care divisions of Humana’s Kindred at Home subsidiary (“KAH Hospice”) was completed.
