CVS Caremark announced on Wednesday that it had agreed to buy the Coram infusion business from the Apria Healthcare Group for about $2.1 billion.
Coram provides infusion therapies for the treatment of acute and chronic ailments like immune deficiencies, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and nutritional deficiencies to more than 20,000 patients each month, primarily at their homes. It also has a network of more than 85 infusion sites.
