“The Option Care Health team's commitment to high-quality, cost-effective care produced solid financial results in 2022,” said John Rademacher, CEO. “The strength and resilience of our technology-enabled national network has enabled our ability to navigate market dynamics, execute on organic growth opportunities and to capitalize on strategic investments.

Option Care announced today that it plans to buy back up to $250 million shares of its common stock.
