Karen Lynch will be replaced by David Joyner.
FILE - CVS Health President and Chief Executive Officer Karen Lynch speaks during a gathering at the Boston College's Chief Executives Club, Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2022, in Boston. Lynch will be replaced by David Joyner, who will attempt to steer the health care giant through a worsening environment of rising medical costs.Joyner, who will also join the company’s board, most recently served as executive vice president of CVS Health, and president of CVS Caremark.
He led the pharmacy services business, which provides solutions to employers, health plans and government entities and serves approximately 90 million members through Caremark, CVS Specialty, and other areas. Joyner has 37 years of health care and pharmacy benefit management experience.
The Woonsocket, Rhode Island company’s preliminary forecast is for third-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.05 to $1.10 per share, citing higher-than-expected medical cost trends. Analysts polled by FactSet predict earnings of $1.69 per share. Back in August CVS Health changed the leadership of its health insurance business as it continued to deal with escalating costs. At the time, the company named Lynch to lead its insurance segment, replacing Executive Vice President Brian Kane, who is left the company about a year after arriving.Rising claims from the company’s Medicare Advantage coverage have hurt CVS Health for much of this year and contributed to repeated trimmings of its outlook for 2024.
CVS Health also said in August that it has been hurt by a drop in quality ratings for those plans and pressure from Medicaid coverage it manages in several states.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
