The health services tech company that formed from last year’s merger of McLean-based health care IT provider CNSI and Nashville, Tennessee-based health care management tech company Kepro is now branding itself as Acentra Health. The company announced the rebranding Tuesday.
“Our new company name and brand represent a new era and a transformational new company,” Acentra Health CEO Todd Stottlemyer, who previously led CNSI, said in a statement. “Acentra Health brings together a deep collective of expertise across all facets of the health care ecosystem that is unmatched in our industry today. Our team of technology and business experts, skilled clinicians and highly talented health care professionals work as one to help state and federal partners lead the way in accelerating better health outcomes for priority populations.”
The name Acentra is formed from the words “accelerate” and “central” and reflects the company’s resolve to be “vital partner” to public sector health agencies in delivering comprehensive health care solutions and services, Acentra said in a news release. The company’s merger was completed in December 2022. At the time of the initial announcement, it said a rebrand would follow in 2023. The company will keep its locations in McLean and Nashville with McLean taking precedence as the company’s corporate headquarters. It is planning to launch a new website later this summer.
Acentra Health serves clients in all 50 states, and partners with 45 state Medicaid agencies and five federal agencies. The company has 3,000 employees and more than 4,500 credentialed clinicians, in addition to 450 physicians who serve on its advisory and review panel. The company manages and processes more than 1.5 billion claims and encounters and disburses over $26 billion in payments annually.
