MinuteClinic also will introduce expanded chronic care management services, as well as expanded hours — all in an effort to cut down on unneeded emergency room visits, the company said. "Healthcare delivery is changing before our eyes and we are excited to be in the vanguard of that change," Merlo said. "With a physical presence in almost every community across the country, we have the unmatched ability to meet consumers where they are and provide the care and services they need either face-to-face or with the unique set of virtual and physical delivery service capabilities that extends our physical presence in real-time to meet their needs." As part of the transaction and the Department of Justice approval, the company is selling Aetna's standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plans to Wellcare Health Plans. The transaction will see each outstanding share of Aetna common stock exchanges for $145 in cash and 0.84 shares of CVS Health common stock.
