Health care company GuideWell Mutual Holding Corporation reported on Thursday the completion of the acquisition of PopHealthCare LLC for an undisclosed value.

Following closing, PopHealthCare LLC will operate as a fifth business unit under the GuideWell umbrella as well as form the foundation for GuideWell's expansion into population health management with a focus on post-acute and in-home care for individuals with complex and chronic illness.

In conjunction, PopHealthCare will operate as an independent, stand-alone subsidiary of GuideWell. It will maintain corporate offices in Franklin, Tenn., and Tempe, Ariz., and regional offices in the states where it serves existing client organizations.

PopHealthCare offers programmes in high risk population management that drive demonstrable improvements in member quality of life and satisfaction, while helping its partnering health organisations realize appropriately enhanced revenues, enhanced quality scores and reduced medical costs. It is led by long-standing leaders in health care analytics, field-based high-risk population care delivery and both prospective and retrospective risk adjustment services. It was founded in 2005 by Dr Kirk Strawn.
