The company acquired two companies: CMH Services Subsidiary LLC, USA — operating under the trade name of AxisPoint Health (100%) and Element Solutions LLC, USA (57% stake).
- The services offered by HGS have traditionally been in administrative segment of healthcare sector. The acquisition of AxisPoint Health has enabled HGS to offer services in the medical cost management segment. This is about four times larger than the administrative segment. The acquisition has given HGS access to AxisPoint’s powerful analytics capabilities. This includes predictive intelligence and advanced care management models that help organizations accurately identify the health needs of members to improve outcomes while reducing medical costs. While there have been some initial challenges to profitability at AxisPoint, the strategic rationale for this remains strong and we are confident of turning things around soon.
