          UnitedHealth Group’s Optum will pay $3.3 billion total for the home health giant Amedisys. 																									Jim Mone/AP
          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.

          Option Care Health, a company that delivers intravenous medicines and mails health care supplies to people’s homes, originally offered to acquire Amedisys in May in an all-stock deal. However, the attractiveness of that deal deteriorated after Option Care’s stock price plummeted soon after the company made its bid.
