          Home health and hospice chain Amedisys has chosen a new corporate owner.

          Amedisys and UnitedHealth Group’s Optum agreed to a deal Monday in which UnitedHealth will pay $101 per share in cash for Amedisys, totaling $3.3 billion. UnitedHealth’s latest offer is $1 per share higher than what it proposed in its unsolicited buyout offer a few weeks ago.

However, the attractiveness of that deal deteriorated after Option Care’s stock price plummeted soon after the company made its bid.
