Mahindra Satyam to tap new opportunities in US health sector

Mahindra Satyam today said it is looking to tap upcoming opportunities brought about by the recent reforms in the US healthcare sector.

The company, which today launched a software solution for insurance companies that would meet the new federal rules in the US, said it has made significant investments in developing skills to meet customer needs.

"Mahindra Satyam is well positioned to capture the opportunities coming from recent reforms in the US healthcare sector. The company has made significant investments in developing specialised skills and expanding its alliances to meet customer needs in the payer segment," Mahindra Satyam Head of Healthcare and Life Sciences Vivek Ghai said today.

The solutions developed by Mahindra Satyam will help customers address many challenges, including an implementation roadmap, the ability to integrate with all major test automation tools and trading partner readiness.

The company has already started deploying the solution, having won a multi-million dollar deal for re-engineering the electronic transaction system and upgrading the applications of a leading health insurer to make them compliant with the new rules, it said.
