Abacus Insights, a leading-edge health data integration firm with operations in New York and Boston, today announced the completion of a $12.7 million Series A financing round.

The new funding will help drive expansion and aggressively grow the company's engineering, and merchandise talent as Abacus continues its rapid growth path. The business is trying to make it simpler for health insurance companies to share information with several parties in the medical system with the ultimate goal of reducing costs and assisting participants across the network from doctors to pharmacists and other healthcare practitioners have a better understanding of the overall individual record. "Abacus Insights is capitalizing on one of the most profound technology transitions in health insurance history, by helping clients unlock the value of their data to improve patients' lives," said Murat Bicer, General Partner at CRV. "With deep healthcare experience and cutting-edge cloud expertise, Abacus has built the ideal team to pioneer a new way for health insurance companies to access valuable information trapped in siloed legacy systems and also use it to produce actionable insights." The platform is basically a data integration play tuned specifically for the health market.
