Walmart announced that it is rolling out a major partnership with UnitedHealth Group to provide healthcare services and improve the patient experience for Medicare Advantage enrollees in certain markets.  The 10-year partnership was announced Wednesday.  The duo will begin the rollout in Florida and Georgia in 2023, where Walmart Health has a combined 15 locations.  Eventually, they plan to roll out the service across the country.  “No matter who your insurer is, this 10-year collaboration is going to enable us to deliver the care needed, first in Georgia and Florida,” Dr. Cheryl Pegus, EVP of Walmart Health & Wellness, said in an interview.  Medicare Advantage plans have increased in popularity in recent years, with the program adding more than 2 million beneficiaries in 2022, boosting the program to 45% of Medicare enrollees, according to a study by The Chartis Group.
