CVS Health-Aetna merger conditional

NEW YORK

The proposed $69 billion merger between CVS Health and Aetna is getting a greenlight from the Department of Justice, with some conditions. The DOJ on Wednesday approved the deal on the condition Aetna moves ahead with its plan to sell its Medicare Part D prescription- drug plan business, resolving some anti-monopoly issues.

Aetna announced last month it’d sell the business for an undisclosed amount.

CVS announced plans to buy Hartford, Conn., Aetna late last year. The deal is expected to give the Woonsocket, R.I., drugstore chain a bigger role in health care, with the companies combining to manage care through CVS stores, clinics and prescription drugs.
