SAN FRANCISCO — Cigna and Centene have pulled out of this year’s JP Morgan Healthcare conference, a possible sign that executives of major health care companies are seeking to avoid public appearances in light of the assassination of a top executive level last month.
Health insurance giants are among 11 major companies that dropped out of the sector’s main investor event, according to the final agenda released by JP Morgan. STAT compared the initial agenda released by JP Morgan on December 11 with the final agenda that was shared Sunday before the conference.
Others who no longer appear on the final list of presenters: drugstore chain Walgreens, medical device maker BD, insurer Oscar Health, medical practice management company Agilon Health, medical device maker Inari Medical, biotechnology company Applied Therapeutics, post-acute care provider PACS, biotech. the IGM Company and US Physical Therapy, a chain of physical therapy clinics.
