Its services include managing revenue cycles and coding medical records.
Cymetrix Chief Executive Michael Halberda will continue to oversee the company’s operations as part of Navigant’s healthcare division.
Navigant operates various other segments, including legal technology and capital markets advisory services.
Publicly traded Navigant has a market capitalization of about $815 million. It had first-quarter revenue of $198 million and profit of nearly $11 million. It said it expects Cymetrix to account for between $38 million and $42 million of the company’s overall revenue for 2014, which is estimated to range between $848 million and $892 million.
