Background

MetCare was founded in 1996 and began operations as a physician practice in Florida. The first business partner of the company was Humana. Thanks to the policy of Medicare Advantage membership, the company developed rapidly in 2003, delivering more services to more counties.[4] The company acquired 35 primary care centers in Florida from MetCare of Florida and Continucare Corporation.[5] From then on, it operated the business through its two subsidiaries, MetCare of Florida and Continucare Corporation.[1] In 2012, the company was acquired by Humana, for over $850 million.[3]
