Medici, which offers an app for communication between providers and patients, is over the moon about its acquisition of Chiron Health (okay you get the joke, right, I mean you do know that Chiron is the moon of Pluto, oh never mind, that is Charon, but Chiron is a minor planet in the outer solar system) Chiron Health is in the telemedicine business and Chiron was the wisest and noblest of the Centaurs according to the Greeks, but what did they know, I mean look at their country today.
HealthGrades, which rates and provides other information on providers, fails to make the grade, acquiring Influence Health, which does something about web experiences for consumers.
Continuing a long voyage and continuing a run of PE firms exchanging companies, behavioral health provider Odyssey Health is being traded for around $200 million.
Change Healthcare, which really hasn't, is acquiring the blockchain-related assets of PokitDok (one of whose employees actually contacted me about a post in which I made fun of the name) to add to its software platform. Might have wanted to worry more about whether you had a real business than about people jabbing at your name.
