Emdeon Launches First Ever Testing Exchange Solution for ICD-10 Claims

Emdeon Inc. has closed its $910M acquisition of Altegra Health, a national provider of technology and intervention platforms that combine data aggregation and analytics with unique member engagement and reporting capabilities to achieve actionable insights and improved management for value-based healthcare. The acquisition combines Altegra Health’s risk adjustment and quality analytics platform with Emdeon’s Intelligent Healthcare Network™, revenue cycle technology and payment solutions, enabling the delivery of innovative products designed to help customers elevate care quality, optimize financial performance and improve the member and patient experience.

With this acquisition, Emdeon is better positioned to support healthcare organizations as they navigate unprecedented marketplace disruption, including the growth in Medicare Advantage, Managed Medicaid, exchange-based insurance markets and the transition to value-based care models. The combination of the two companies is expected to strengthen the existing capabilities of both organizations and create new, innovative platforms that will address the opportunities and challenges created by the evolution of a more dynamic healthcare marketplace and regulatory landscape.

As the single largest financial and administrative network in the United States healthcare system, Emdeon’s Intelligent Healthcare Network reaches 750,000 physicians, 105,000 dentists, 60,000 pharmacies, 5,000 hospitals, 600 vendors, 450 laboratories and 1,200 government and commercial payers and processed approximately 8.1 billion transactions in 2014.

Last year, Emdeon acquired Change Healthcare, a healthcare consumer engagement vendor, for $185 million.
