Eden Prairie, Minn.-based Optum secured its second partnership agreement in a matter of days with a healthcare system to take over its revenue cycle management and information technology operations, per Becker’s.
The agreement to take over Owensboro (Ky.) Health’s operations will result in 575 of the healthcare system’s employees moving over to Optum in April. The move follows a similar partnership agreed to Jan. 5 with Maine’s Northern Light Health involving 1,400 of that system’s employees.
Owensboro Health, whose system includes three hospitals, operates in its home state and in Indiana, serving approximately 500,000 people.
