GREENWICH, Conn. and PHOENIX (PRWEB) April 05, 2021 - V?lenz, a Great Point Partners II portfolio company, announced today it has acquired Kozani Health, integrating a new and innovative means for self-funded employers and the self-insured community to control costs across the life of a claim.

Kozani Health, which provides customized solutions to meet the challenges of paying medical claims appropriately, joins the ever-expanding Valenz portfolio of data and solutions as Valenz ProteKHt. The new solution offers detailed line-by-line bill reviews performed by nurses, certified coders and practicing specialists to uncover inappropriate billing and care.

Integrating our claim management solutions into Valenz will accelerate the growth and evolution of our services and bring additional value to our customers.

Valenz and Kozanis service offerings are highly complementary and the unified business provides self-insured groups with an enhanced value proposition, said Noah Rhodes, Managing Director at Great Point Partners. We look forward to working with the Kozani team to provide our combined customer base with exceptional service.
