LogistiCare completes acquisition of Circulation

ATLANTA, GA- September 24, 2018 - LogistiCare Solutions, LLC (“LogistiCare” or the “Company”) today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Circulation, Inc.

Circulation offers technology-enabled logistics solutions and analytics for managing non-emergency transportation across healthcare. Its HIPAA compliant digital platform, and digitally integrated transportation network, enables automated administration of transportation benefits and simple ride scheduling and trip assignment by call centers, healthcare facilities, case managers, caregivers, and members/patients. While LogistiCare’s current customer base is primarily focused on state agencies and MCOs servicing Medicaid and Medicare lives, Circulation serves a broader mix of payers and approximately 3,000 healthcare facilities across 45 states.
