Regulators are asking for more public comments about a proposed UnitedHealth Group Inc. acquisition.
The Nevada Division of Insurance has scheduled 3 more public hearings on efforts by UnitedHealth, Minnetonka, Minn., to acquire Sierra Health Services Inc., Las Vegas, for $2.6 billion in cash.
Sierra provides or administers health coverage for 630,000 people.
The American Medical Association, Chicago, says completion of the deal without modification could give UnitedHealth a 78% share of the Nevada health maintenance organization market.
