The company offers a wide range of in-home healthcare services to patients, with a significant portion of its revenue derived from Medicare.

The report discusses the proposed merger with UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, which has faced legal challenges from the U.S. Department of Justice and certain states. The trial date for the litigation has been tentatively set for October 27, 2025, with the possibility of rescheduling to February 9, 2026. Amedisys and UnitedHealth Group remain committed to defending against the claims, while the proposed merger is subject to various conditions and uncertainties.

Additionally, the report highlights the termination of the Option Care Health, Inc. ("OPCH") Merger Agreement and the financial implications of the termination fee. Amedisys incurred significant merger-related expenses and recorded a termination fee paid to UnitedHealth Group, impacting its financial statements.
