A division of UnitedHealth Group is paying $1.5 billion to acquire a health technology firm that will deepen the company's business with the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom.
EMIS Group PLC, the U.K.-based company being acquired, disclosed the sale in a regulatory filing on Friday. Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group, which operates the largest health insurer in the United States, declined to comment.
EMIS makes health care software and systems used in primary care, emergency departments and pharmacies at the community and hospital level. The sale still requires court approval.
