Intrahealth is a highly complementary acquisition which will be immediately accretive to Well’s revenue and profitability,” said Hamed Shahbazi, chairman and chief executive officer of WELL

Well Health has agreed to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Intrahealth for a total consideration of approximately $19.25-million.

“We are very pleased with the prospect of joining Well Health, as this will allow us to continue to serve our customers and enhance our product offering while being a part of the larger Well Health ecosystem and shared services platform. We believe there are many synergies and cross-selling opportunities with Well’s broader product offerings being made available to all Intrahealth customers,” commented Dr. Mark Matthews, chief executive officer of Intrahealth

Well Health’s acquisition of Intrahealth will enable the Company to provide a variety of EMR products in global markets rather than strictly Oscar EMR services. Additionally, Well Health hopes to integrate Intrahealth into the digital health scene. In doing so, the Company will be paving the way for third party developers to have their apps available on both Oscar Pro and Intrahealth platforms.

Following the acquisition’s closing, Intrahealth is anticipated to continue operating as an independent business within the Well Health EMR Group. The business will continue to be operated by Dr. Mark Matthews, its current CEO. With this in mind, The proposed acquisition represents a milestone for Well Health EMR Group as it continues to expand its market to a greater level by restructuring to a  multiproduct business.
