CVS Health Corp announced Monday it would be closing its acquisition of home health care services company Signify Health.
The deal, which was originally agreed upon in September 2022, allows retail pharmacy chain to acquire Signify for $30.50 per share for a total value of approximately $8 billion.
“We have nothing additional to share at this time; we’ll of course have more to say upon expected closure of the deal,” a spokesperson for CVS told ABC News.
By buying Signify, CVS will be among the first pharmacy chains in the U.S. to enter the at-home health care space after building its successful Minute Clinics.
Signify Health has thousands of employees including physicians, nurse practitioners and other clinicians which provide a “holistic suite of clinical, social, and behavioral services to address an individual’s healthcare needs and prevent adverse events that drive excess cost, all while shifting services towards the home,” the company said in a press release.
Here’s how the deal may affect services including COVID testing and abortion care.
COVID tests performed at home
While every American has been able to either buy at rapid at-home antigen tests at their local store or get them delivered to their doors, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests have been reserved for doctors’ offices, clinics and pharmacies.

PCR tests, which look for genetic material from the virus, are considered the “gold standard” when it comes to COVID-19 testing.
While less accurate than PCR tests, antigen tests are still considered quite accurate when used in people with symptoms of infection. The tests look for proteins on the surface of the virus and can deliver results in 15 minutes or less.
CVS has been offering PCR testing at its stores but, with Signify already having a system in place providing on-site COVID screening, clinicians may be able to perform such testing in people’s homes.
Abortion services
It’s not clear how the CVS acquisition will affect abortion pills, but at-home care could be provided.
In January, after a change in rules from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, both CVS and Walgreens announced plans to seek certification to distribute abortion pills where legally allowed.
Despite Walgreens saying it would not distribute mifepristone in 21 states after conservative attorneys general threatened legal action, CVS has not said it will be doing the same.
Even if CVS does follow in Walgreens’ footsteps, licensed physicians may be able to prescribe pills directly in a woman’s home in states where procedure is legal,.
Signify Health declined to comment to ABC News.
Expanding health care into rural areas
According to the American Hospital Association, there are just 1,805 rural hospitals in the U.S., the latest date for which data is available. It also represents a 59{bf0515afdcaddba073662ceb89fbb62b6b1bf123143c0e06b788e1946e8c353f} decrease since 2019.

What’s more, a January report from the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform found that 631 rural hospitals — or roughly 30{bf0515afdcaddba073662ceb89fbb62b6b1bf123143c0e06b788e1946e8c353f} — are at immediate risk or high risk of closing due to low financial reserves or being too dependent on certain forms of revenue such as state subsidies.
By comparison, CVS has more than 9,000 stores across the country.
The acquisition may allow the company to be able to reach traditionally underserved communities that live far away from metropolitan areas.

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Michael J. Driscoll, the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), and Fernando P. McMillan, the Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration – Office of Criminal Investigations (“FDA-OIC”), announced today the filing of a two-count Indictment (the “Indictment”) charging Laura PERRYMAN, the former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of STIMWAVE LLC, a Florida-based medical device company, in connection with a scheme to create and sell a non-functioning dummy medical device for implantation into patients suffering from chronic pain, resulting in millions of dollars in losses to federal healthcare programs. PERRYMAN was arrested this morning in Delray Beach, Florida, and will be presented later today in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
In addition, Mr. Williams announced the unsealing of a non-prosecution agreement (the “Agreement”) with STIMWAVE LLC (“STIMWAVE”), which filed for bankruptcy on June 15, 2022. The Agreement was entered into on October 29, 2022, and was sealed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, pending the Government’s ongoing investigation. Under the terms of the Agreement, STIMWAVE has accepted responsibility for its conduct by, among other things: (i) making admissions and stipulating to the accuracy of an extensive Statement of Facts; (ii) paying a $10,000,000 monetary penalty; and (iii) maintaining an adequate compliance program, to include employing a Chief Compliance Officer and holding regular compliance committee meetings. STIMWAVE is also required to cooperate fully with the Government. STIMWAVE’s obligations under the Agreement will continue for a period of three years from the date of execution of the Agreement.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office also unsealed a civil fraud lawsuit filed against STIMWAVE under the False Claims Act (“FCA”), and the parties’ settlement of that suit (the “FCA Settlement”). The settlement has been submitted to United States District Judge George B. Daniels for approval. In connection with the FCA Settlement, STIMWAVE admitted and accepted responsibility for conduct alleged in the Government’s civil complaint and agreed to pay $8,600,000 to the United States. This payment will be credited towards the $10,000,000 monetary penalty discussed above. The civil complaint also brings claims against PERRYMAN under the FCA, which are pending.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged, at the direction of its founder and CEO Laura Perryman, Stimwave created a dummy medical device component — made entirely of plastic — designed to be implanted in patients for the sole purpose of causing doctors to unwittingly bill Medicare and private insurance companies more than $16,000 for each implantation of the piece of plastic. The defendant and Stimwave did this so that they could charge medical providers many thousands of dollars for purchasing their medical device. Our Office will continue to do everything in its power to bring to justice anyone responsible for perpetuating health care fraud, which in this case led to patients being used as nothing more than tools for financial enrichment.”
FBI Assistant Director Michael J. Driscoll said: “Ms. Perryman, as the Chief Executive Officer of Stimwave, allegedly led a scheme to sell medical devices that contained a non-functioning component that doctors unwittingly implanted into patients suffering from chronic pain. As a result of her illegal actions, not only did patients undergo unnecessary implanting procedures, but Medicare was defrauded of millions of dollars. Today’s action demonstrates the FBI’s continuing commitment to protect Medicare and other government programs from financial fraud and abuse.”
FDA-OIC Special Agent in Charge Fernando P. McMillan said: “Individuals and companies that manufacture and distribute medical devices with non-functional components put the health of patients at significant risk. We will continue to pursue and bring to justice those who jeopardize the health of their patients and of the public.”
According to the documents unsealed today in Manhattan federal court and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware:[1]
STIMWAVE was a medical device company that manufactured and distributed implantable neurostimulation devices designed to treat intractable, chronic pain. Founded in 2010 by PERRYMAN and others, STIMWAVE was headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida.
STIMWAVE was founded on the premise that its products would provide non-opioid alternatives to chronic pain management. As the founder and CEO of STIMWAVE, PERRYMAN oversaw the design of the StimQ PNS System (the “Device”), a neurostimulator medical device that treated chronic pain by producing electrical currents to target peripheral nerves outside the spinal cord. From at least in or about 2017 up to and including her termination in or about 2019, PERRYMAN, as STIMWAVE’s CEO, engaged in a multi-year scheme (the “Scheme”) to design, create, manufacture, and market an inert, non-functioning component of the Device — called the “White Stylet” — that served no medical purpose but was included with the Device through in or about 2020 in order to make the product financially viable for doctors to purchase.
When STIMWAVE originally brought the Device to market in or about 2017, it contained three primary components: (i) an implantable electrode array (the “Lead”) that stimulated the nerve; (ii) an externally worn battery that sat outside the body and wirelessly provided power to the Lead through the patient’s skin (the “Battery”); and (iii) a separate implantable receiver measuring approximately 23 centimeters in length with a distinctive pink handle — called the “Pink Stylet.” The Pink Stylet contained copper and, unlike the White Stylet, functioned as a receiver to transmit energy from the Battery to the Lead.
STIMWAVE sold the Device to doctors and medical providers for over approximately $16,000. Medical insurance providers, including Medicare, would reimburse medical practitioners for implanting the Device into patients through two separate reimbursement codes, one for implantation of the Lead and a second for implantation of the Pink Stylet. The billing code for implanting the Lead provided for reimbursement at a rate of between approximately $4,000 and $6,000, while the billing code for implanting a receiver, like the Pink Stylet, provided for reimbursement at a rate of between approximately $16,000 and $18,000.
Soon after the Device was released, physicians informed STIMWAVE that they were having trouble implanting the Pink Stylet in certain patients because the Pink Stylet was too long. STIMWAVE and PERRYMAN knew that the Pink Stylet could not be cut or trimmed to shorten it without interfering with the functionality of the Pink Stylet as a receiver, and without a receiver component for doctors to implant and seek reimbursement for, doctors would incur a substantial financial loss with every purchase of the Device, thereby making it more difficult for STIMWAVE to sell the Device to doctors and medical providers at the approximately $16,000 price.
However, STIMWAVE — at the direction of PERRYMAN — did not lower the price of the Device so that its cost to doctors and medical providers could be covered by reimbursement for the implantation of only the Lead, nor did PERRYMAN recommend that doctors not implant the Device or its receiver component in cases where the Pink Stylet could not fit comfortably. Instead, PERRYMAN directed that STIMWAVE create the White Stylet — a dummy component made entirely of plastic that served no medical purpose but which STIMWAVE misrepresented to doctors as a customizable receiver alternative to the Pink Stylet. The White Stylet could be cut to size by the doctor for use in smaller anatomical spaces and was created solely so that doctors and medical providers would continue to purchase the Device for use in those scenarios and continue to bill for the implantation of a receiver component. To perpetuate the lie that the White Stylet was functional, PERRYMAN oversaw training that suggested to doctors that the White Stylet was a “receiver,” when, in fact, it was made entirely of plastic, contained no copper, and therefore had no conductivity. In addition, PERRYMAN directed other STIMWAVE employees to vouch for the efficacy of the White Stylet, when she knew that the White Stylet was actually non-functional.
As a result of these misrepresentations regarding the functionality of the White Stylet, PERRYMAN caused doctors and medical providers to unwittingly implant the non-functional White Stylet into patients and submit fraudulent reimbursement claims for implantation of the White Stylet to Medicare, resulting in millions of dollars in losses to the federal government.
On June 15, 2022, STIMWAVE filed for bankruptcy in Delaware under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, through which it sold substantially all of its assets to a third-party through an auction.
* * *
PERRYMAN, 54, of Delray Beach, Florida, has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and health care fraud, which carries a maximum potential sentence of 20 years in prison, and one count of health care fraud, which carries a maximum potential sentence of 10 years in prison.
The maximum potential sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge.
Mr. Williams praised the investigative work of the FBI and thanked the FDA for its assistance.

Folch are in charge of the prosecution. The civil case against STIMWAVE and PERRYMAN is being handled by the Civil Frauds Unit of the Office’s Civil Division. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jacob M.

LEXINGTON, Ky.— United Seating and Mobility, LLC, d/b/a Numotion (Numotion) has paid $7 million to resolve civil allegations that it made false statements in connection with claims for reimbursement it submitted to Kentucky Medicaid, two of Kentucky Medicaid’s Managed Care Organization contractors (MCOs), MO HealthNet (Missouri Medicaid), and D.C. Medicaid.
Numotion is a national supplier of durable medical equipment (DME), such as hospital beds, manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs and accessories, and gait trainers. The investigation involved DME that was “manually priced” by Medicaid payors in Kentucky, Missouri, and D.C. Those Medicaid programs reimbursed manually priced DME based on the cost Numotion actually paid the manufacturer for the equipment. Specifically, in Kentucky, reimbursement is based on “a manufacturer’s actual charges” billed to Numotion, or the “invoice price;” in Missouri, reimbursement is based on the “actual invoice of cost;” and in D.C., reimbursement is based on “original documentation reflecting all discounts.”
In the Settlement Agreement, the United States alleged that Numotion did not disclose all discounts Numotion received from, or the cost Numotion actually paid to, DME manufacturers when submitting claims for manually priced DME to Kentucky Medicaid, two Kentucky Medicaid MCOs (Aetna Better Health of Kentucky and WellCare of Kentucky), MO HealthNet, and D.C. Medicaid. Numotion’s failure to disclose all discounts, or the actual cost paid, resulted in these Medicaid programs paying Numotion higher reimbursements than it was entitled to receive. The United States contended that the conduct violated the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(1)(B), a federal law that prohibits knowingly making or using a false statement material to a false claim for reimbursement.
As part of the settlement, Numotion also entered into a 5-year Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. The CIA requires, among other things, that Numotion implement a centralized risk assessment program, as part of its compliance program, and hire an Independent Review Organization to complete annual reviews of some of its Medicare and Medicaid claims.
“By hiding or failing to disclose discounts, to receive higher reimbursement from Medicaid programs across the country, Numotion prioritized its financial incentives, to the detriment of these Medicaid programs,” said Carlton S. Shier, IV, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. “Whenever the valuable resources of government health care programs are improperly dissipated to those who are not entitled, it diminishes the ability of these programs to meet the needs of their beneficiaries. We remain committed to doing our part to protect these programs from fraud, waste, and abuse and to preserve the taxpayer money that supports them.”
“When health care companies do not follow federal health care billing requirements, the integrity of those safety net programs can be undermined,” said Special Agent in Charge Tamala E. Miles of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. “Working with our law enforcement partners, the dedicated work of OIG’s investigators and attorneys has again resulted in the recovery of taxpayer dollars and better protection against improper billing in the future.”
The settlement resolves a lawsuit originally brought by L. Richard Parkey, a former Numotion employee, under the qui tam, or whistleblower, provisions of the False Claims Act. Under those provisions, a private party can file an action on behalf of the United States and receive a portion of any recovery. As part of this resolution, Parkey will receive approximately $1.05 million of the settlement amount.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General. Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer A. Williams handled the matter for the United States.
The case is United States ex rel. L. Richard Parkey v. United Seating and Mobility, LLC d/b/a Numotion, Case No. 3:17-cv-53-GFVT. The claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.
