The company will add to Cognizant's healthcare business, which has for clients 16 of the top 20 US health plans, and four of the top five pharmacy benefit management companies.

In September, Cognizant had announced that it is planning to acquire TriZetto. With more than $3 billion in combined healthcare revenue, Cognizant and TriZetto will serve nearly 245,000 healthcare providers.
