History
Change Healthcare was founded by Christopher Parks in 2007 with a consumer solution called MedBillManager. In January 2010, the company shifted its focus to the business-to-business market and launched the Change Healthcare Engagement Platform.

In April 2011, Howard McLure, former president of CVS Caremark, came out of retirement to lead Change Healthcare as chairman and CEO. Doug Ghertner joined the company as president in July 2011; prior to this, he oversaw product innovation and management at CVS Caremark and was a senior vice president.

In December 2011, Change Healthcare closed a round of financing, led by Sandbox Industries, BlueCross BlueShield Venture Partners and West Health Investment Fund. In September 2012, Ghertner was promoted to president and CEO, and McLure assumed the role of executive chairman.

In July 2013, Change Healthcare closed on a round of Series D funding. It was led by HLM Venture Partners, and including new investor Noro-Moseley Partners, infused $15 million into the company. In July 2013, Change Healthcare was also named one of Modern Healthcare’s “100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare,"
