WASHINGTON, July 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolent Health, Inc. (NYSE: EVH), a health care company that delivers proven clinical and administrative solutions to payers and providers, today announced that Molina Healthcare, Inc. ("Molina") and Passport Health Plan ("Passport") have entered into a definitive agreement for Molina to acquire certain assets of Passport, including Passport's brand, operational and clinical infrastructure, and certain provider and vendor agreements. The parties have also entered into a separate transaction for the sale of Passport's real estate holdings to Molina.
Under the terms of the transaction, it is anticipated that Molina will assume the Passport membership upon regulatory approval. Evolent will continue to provide comprehensive services to the plan through the end of the year under the existing terms of its services contract. In addition, Molina and Evolent have entered into an agreement for Evolent to provide specialty care management services for cardiovascular care in Kentucky beginning in 2021 with the potential for additional states. As part of the transaction, Molina will also extend continued career opportunities for hundreds of Kentucky-based employees supporting the plan.
"We believe this agreement is a testament to Passport's unique legacy of service to its community, as well as the plan's ability to innovate and drive strong operational and clinical performance," said Evolent Health Chief Executive Officer Frank Williams. "We are heartened that this agreement provides continuity of care and coverage for Passport members during the ongoing public health crisis. We also feel that this outcome is very positive for Passport's members, the city of Louisville and the hundreds of employees who support the plan, as well as the current owners."
