The State Corporation Commission (SCC) will hold a public hearing in May to consider the competitive impact of Anthem’s proposed acquisition of Cigna Corporation and its subsidiaries. As part of that merger, the SCC must consider Anthem’s application to acquire Cigna Dental Health of Virginia, Inc., a Virginia-domiciled managed care health insurance plan and subsidiary of Cigna.
According to Anthem, if approved, the proposed $54.2 billion merger of Anthem and Cigna would create one of the nation’s largest health insurers by enrollment with 53 million members.
The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, May 25, 2016, at 10 a.m. in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building at 1300 East Main Street in downtown Richmond. Any person wishing to comment at the hearing should arrive early and sign in with the SCC bailiff.
