“Building out the necessary technology and human capital based infrastructure to succeed in ACOs or other value-based reimbursement models is not cost-effective for the vast majority of the market,” said Brett Carlson, Senior Vice President at Great Point

JACKSONVILLE, FL and GREENWICH, CT (PRWEB) April 14, 2014 -- Orange Health Solutions (“Orange”), a Jacksonville, FL based technology enabled health care services company, today announced a significant investment from Great Point Partners (“GPP”), a health care focused private equity firm based in Greenwich, CT. The primary use of the proceeds was to finance Orange’s acquisition of MZI HealthCare (“MZI”). The purchase of MZI enhances Orange’s core product and service offerings, to more effectively meet the evolving needs of their customers as the US health care industry migrates to value-based reimbursement structures.

Orange was formed in December 2012 by a team of former UnitedHealth Group executives, Howard Buff and Nicole Bradberry, both with significant experience in the payer and consumer driven health care industries, and who will continue to lead the merged company as CEO and President, respectively. Orange offers solutions to health care providers that allow them to deliver higher quality coordinated care, improve population health management capabilities and increase efficiency while positively impacting their own financial success.

“The combination of Orange’s service solutions and the synergistic technology platforms of MZI pulls together a comprehensive solution that enables providers to manage medical cost and quality, while at the same time address the growing need for patient engagement and health care consumerism,” said CEO Howard Buff.

MZI is a California and Florida-based health benefit technology company that serves Independent Physician Associations (“IPAs”), Provider Managed Service Organizations (“MSOs”), Accountable Care Organizations (“ACOs”), Medicare Advantage Plans, health plans and health systems. MZI's flagship product is known as EZ-Cap along with an extensive suite of additional products provides its customers with a broad range of clinical, financial and administrative data on their patient populations.

The combined offerings of Orange and MZI enable providers to capitalize on the opportunities presented by provider risk-sharing models. Orange’s service offerings allow providers to outsource the non-clinical population health management services necessary to partake in value-based contracts. The product suite of MZI gives its clients benefit administration and claims adjudication capabilities allowing them to more effectively manage the health care spending of their patient populations. The business combination represents a unique value proposition by offering a single source vendor across payment and benefit administration, population health technology and service offerings.

“Building out the necessary technology and human capital based infrastructure to succeed in ACOs or other value-based reimbursement models is not cost-effective for the vast majority of the market,” said Brett Carlson, Senior Vice President at Great Point Partners, “Orange Health, in combination with MZI, provides an integrated one-stop solution that allows providers to solve their technology and service needs.”
