Humana gives Accolade a compliment, along with a $20 million capital investment, supporting the firm's software and app designed to help employees navigate their health benefits and health care.
Mednax, the physician practice company, is selling its MedData unit, which offers certain management services to health systems, to PE firm Frazier for up to $300 million.

WebMD, which itself has been acquired by a larger information and education firm, is buying Aptus Health, which is another health education and patient engagement company.
