The Columbus Organization was sold to CareSource by a private equity fund HealthEdge Investment Partners. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
CareSource CEO Erhardt Preitauer said in a statement about the acquisition that serving individuals with complex needs “is at the heart of our mission.”
“Acquiring a well-respected company like The Columbus Organization extends that commitment,” he said.
CareSource has been rapidly growing in recent years, winning major government contracts including re-winning its main contract with Ohio Department of Medicaid.
The insurer’s gross revenue was up to $11.2 billion in 2020, from $10.6 billion the year prior and $7 billion five years prior. CareSource said 9.7% of 2020 revenue went toward administration, which is up from 8.3% reported the year prior
