LexisNexis Risk Solutions, a Reed Elsevier company, has completed regulatory review to acquire Health Market Science (HMS), a leading supplier of high-quality data on health care professionals and an administrator of one of the largest practitioner-level medical claims databases in the US.
LexisNexis, together with HMS, offers healthcare organisations a comprehensive suite of healthcare provider and claims analytic solutions that leverage leading data sources and technology to meet key challenges and deliver insight to reduce fraud, comply with increasing regulations, enable cost reduction efforts, and enhance patient outcomes.
Earlier, in November 2014, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, announced its intent to acquire HMS. The acquisition of HMS supports LexisNexis' strategy in the health care market which is to enable customers to solve key challenges including fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, cost reduction, and improved patient outcomes through the use of advanced data and analytics.
