The combined companies will connect and simplify core clinical, administrative and payment processes, Optum says.
Optum and Change Healthcare officially merged today.
Change filed a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission today in connection with the closing, in accordance with the January 5 merger agreement.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The official acquisition follows a court decision on September 19 against an attempt by the Department of Justice to stop the merger.
The DOJ said at the time that it was evaluating its next steps. It had 60 days from the September 19 decision to appeal.
Optum said the combined businesses share a vision for achieving a simpler, more intelligent and adaptive health system for patients, payers and care providers.
