Equian Acquires AfterMath Claim Science and Enhances Its Payment Integrity Capabilities

Introduction

GREENWICH, CT and INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Equian completed the acquisition of AfterMath Claim Science, Inc. effective June 11, 2014. The transaction builds upon Equian’s commitment to the payment integrity market and accelerates Equian’s strategy of expanding its capabilities through advanced data mining and analytics.

Based just outside of Chicago, IL, AfterMath Claim Science is a post-payment recovery services company that identifies and eliminates medical claim payment errors. Since its inception in 2003, AfterMath Claim Science has been developing overpayment solutions for the nation’s leading health care payors. The Company’s investment and commitment to their data mining technology (ClaimScopeR) was an attractive element of the transaction for Equian.

“The AfterMath Claim Science acquisition further expands our capabilities and footprint in post-payment services and analytics,” says Scott Mingee, CEO of Equian. “It builds on our last acquisition, The Reclaim Group, by adding new types of waste we identify, recover and ultimately eliminate for our clients. We are constantly looking for new ways to reduce our clients’ cost of care and remain committed to our focus on innovation, growth and capability expansion – AfterMath Claim Science checks all those boxes for us and our clients.”

“Post-payment services and analytics is highly scalable and a tremendous growth opportunity for Equian. With Equian’s rock solid management team, technological prowess, and deep payment knowledge they are delivering a powerful value proposition,” says Jeffrey R. Jay, M.D., Managing Director of Great Point Partners and a member of the Equian Board of Directors.

“AfterMath Claim Science has been delivering significant cost savings to several of the largest and most sophisticated health insurers in the country for the past 10 years,” added Brett Carlson, Senior Vice President at Great Point Partners. “We look forward to building upon their decade of success”.
