An agreement is reached with the Colorado Attorney General’s office to settle a lawsuit over the proposed merger of United Health Group and Davita Medical Group.
Attorney General Phil Weiser filed the original lawsuit in El Paso County court as part of an effort to enforce antitrust laws in the state.
Weiser argued United Healthcare’s standing as the area’s largest provider of Medicare advantage plans in the area and its acquisition of Davita Medical Group would have reduced healthcare options for senior citizens in Colorado Springs.
