Walmart announced a collaboration with SCAN Health Plan to launch a co-branded Medicare Advantage plan in Arizona and Texas, subject to regulatory review and approval. The offering may incorporate pharmacy and vision services as well as food and over-the-counter benefits, alongside Walmart's technology capabilities. The partnership also extends Walmart's Everyday Health Signals platform, which delivers personalized nutrition and wellness insights based on users' stated goals and shopping preferences, to participating members as part of broader wellness support. Walmart said health and wellness shoppers spend about three times more than the average Walmart customer, and adding pharmacy delivery can lift spending further, while prescription volumes are growing with reported pharmacy market share gains. The health and wellness category faces near-term sales pressure from pharmacy deflation and regulatory-related pricing changes, but the SCAN collaboration could broaden Walmart's healthcare offering and deepen customer engagement over time.
