On its most recent earnings call, the company highlighted recent
positive trends in the Health Care Delivery business:
- Aetna members served by Signify have nearly
doubled compared to last year, supported by our ability to use
touchpoints across CVS Health.
- Enterprise connections continue to accelerate patient growth at
Oak Street. At-risk membership is up 32 percent from the same
quarter last year and the number of Aetna members enrolled at Oak
Street has approximately quadrupled since the close of the
acquisition.
- Oak Street Health, Signify Health, and MinuteClinic all
represent ways the company is building a world of health around
every consumer.
"Health Care Delivery connects the dots for the people we care
for, as we provide better care in our Oak Street Health clinics, in
our pharmacies at MinuteClinic, and at home through Signify
Health," said Dr. Chaguturu. "We will continue to keep our patients
front and center of every decision we make. As we succeed in our
work, it means more than 185 million people in our country live
better lives. This is what we are capable of at CVS Health when we
stay focused on delivering the best care for our friends, family,
and neighbors."
