Humana's $2.8B BlackRock deal lets it buy back CenterWell clinics starting in 2028

Humana's $2.8B BlackRock deal lets it buy back CenterWell clinics starting in 2028

BlackRock's $2.8 billion buys majority ownership of a joint venture holding about 150 CenterWell clinics, replacing WCAS as Humana's outside investor. CenterWell keeps a minority stake and keeps running the clinics. The terms set a timeline: two years of expected growth spending, an option for Humana to buy clinics back from 2028, and a BlackRock right to start a sale of any clinics still in the venture at the end of 2033, with CenterWell getting the first offer. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter, subject to regulatory approvals.

  • 01BlackRock's $2.8 billion buys majority ownership of about 150 CenterWell clinics, while Humana keeps day-to-day management and an option to repurchase clinics starting in 2028.
  • 02The 2028 buyback and 2033 sale terms apply to the roughly 150 clinics in the new joint venture. CenterWell Senior Primary Care runs 250 clinics in total.
  • 03The deal’s lower-cost-of-capital claim will be tested after closing—first by how the venture deploys new capital over the next two years to support clinics, open locations and pursue acquisitions, and then by Humana’s 2028 decision on whether to start buying clinics back.

Healthcare AI should give doctors attention back, not shorter visits

Healthcare AI should give doctors attention back, not shorter visits

Healthcare organizations should deploy AI to give clinicians back attention and capacity for better decisions, not simply shorten visits. Landry argues AI should fit into existing workflows with insights appearing at the right time, and that organizations should set clear governance and automation boundaries before deployment and measure what changes for patients, clinicians and the organization.

  • 01AI success in healthcare should expand clinician capacity for thoughtful care, not optimize for visit speed; a three-minute appointment is not patient-centered innovation.
  • 02Design AI into workflows clinicians already use with insights appearing at the right moment, making adoption a workflow problem rather than a training problem.
  • 03Set automation boundaries before deploying AI, specifying what it may do alone, what it recommends for clinician decision-making, and what requires explicit human control and accountability.

Black Book: AI may make some outsourced health plan work cheaper to bring in-house

Black Book: AI may make some outsourced health plan work cheaper to bring in-house

U.S. health plan administrative costs rose 2.7% to about $69.2 billion in the first half of 2026, even as margins improved to 4.1%. Black Book Research's 2027 outlook says AI is starting to move payer sourcing in both directions. Demand for specialist vendors stays strong in some functions, while automation could make in-house or hybrid models viable in others. The report recommends comparing each major outsourced service with rival vendors and the best internal or hybrid option, and checking whether projected savings become actual cash.

  • 01Every major outsourced payer service should be benchmarked against a rival vendor and against the plan's best feasible internal or hybrid model, a three-way contest at each renewal.
  • 02Staffing reductions, payment recoveries, avoided vacancies and productivity improvements may not translate into recurring cash, so plans shouldn’t assume outsourcing savings can fund AI until the service, AI and funding cases are evaluated separately.
  • 03Provider data sits on both sides of the sourcing question: it is a top pain point and a specialist-demand area, yet also one of the functions where automation could make hybrid or in-house models viable.
