UnitedHealth, Amedisys Extend Window to Complete Deal

UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Amedisys Inc. gave themselves more time to complete a $3.3 billion deal for the insurer to purchase the home-health provider that’s been challenged by the government.
The companies each waived their right to terminate the deal if it hadn’t been completed within an agreed-upon time, according to a filing Friday. Those dates were either 10 days after a court ruling on a US Justice Department challenge to the deal, or the end of 2025, whichever came earlier.
