Anyone know if it's true CVS/Aetna is selling off the vision and dental portion? Lots of gossip that this is happening and I work in this dept

Dental network is done. I report to a network mgr and she's told me multiple times to "do whatever you have to do to retain the network even if it's bad only numbers count" she's also on company time on her own computer she said posting and interviewing for jobs. Can't trust anyone. Wish it were me that got laid off.
Dental won't be around with CVS next summer. Bad network and no providers want on. All those employees are a ticking time bo-b to be the next laid off
Could explain why Finke is gone, seems dental will be gone soon too.
lets face it folks - Aetna Dental is the worst dental product in the market - - ZERO dentists take it - the network is poor, and it has a completely bad reputation - - they can't hold a card to Delta Dental who every dentist takes. Ly--h is going to start parting the company out - if your not medicare or core RX your subject to being sold - - this is quietly what they are doing to aetna medicaid - squeeze it with the bean counter they just hired. - - package it up and sell it to the highest bidder - - most likely humana... but could be molina or centene.
Dental gonna be sold off, book of business. Employees at CVS no.
I would bet the farm on mass layoffs once they force a single underwriter to do medical, pharmacy, dental and vision. It’s a matter of time.
"dental is thriving" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Might happen with a few more of these lawsuits....

Seems unlikely- the Dental Business has a ton of growth.
