In 1998, Lonny Reisman, MD, a cardiologist and a consultant to clients seeking to address rising healthcare costs and improve medical outcomes, founded ActiveHealth Management. Dr. Reisman's vision was to take clinical information from available administrative data, aggregate that data for each member, and apply rules drawn from the medical literature to identify members whose care could be improved. Today, we actively cover 12 million members nationwide in a range of health management and data analytics products and services – all to reduce medical errors and medical costs.

History of business development.

Health Data Management Solutions, Inc.
In 2000, ActiveHealth acquired Health Data Management Solutions (HDMS) to build upon our data management and analytics capability. Using flexible data integration protocols, HDMS allows us to aggregate multiple data sets from various third-party vendors (e.g., PBMs, Behavioral Health, health plans, etc.) to strengthen our algorithms for identification and intervention opportunities.  HDMS' DART^SM reporting solution allows us to provide data analysis on our clients' populations via web-based, desktop reporting.

e-MEDx, Inc.
In 2000, we also acquired e-MEDx, Inc. and their subsidiary Health Cost Consultants (HCC).  Through this acquisition, we are able to provide a broad array of integrated, URAC-accredited utilization review, case management and disease management services.   HCC's (now ActiveHealth's) Chantilly, Virginia clinical operations call center has been in operation for 20 years and is staffed by over 115 nurses and three on-site medical directors.  ActiveHealth's sophisticated care management technology platform, ActiveAdvice®, enables the delivery of our service components individually or as an integrated, single-source care management solution.

Aetna, Inc.
In May of 2005, ActiveHealth was acquired by Aetna, Inc. ActiveHealth operates as a branded, standalone business. We continue to expand our business across all segments including health plans and self-insured employers.
