In 2013, media reported that approximately 125 employees worked at the corporate headquarters, with additional staff at the Noida R&D center.[1][8]
In 2022, Hcentive Technology India Pvt Ltd was amalgamated into Optum Global Solutions Pvt Ltd, alongside other Optum entities, under an NCLT Hyderabad order.[9]
Products and services
The company developed software used by state-based health insurance marketplaces. Its WebInsure State platform was used by exchanges in New York, Colorado and Kentucky.[10]
For private markets, the company offered WebInsure Private Exchange and WebInsure Exchange Manager for integration between plans, third-party administrators and related parties.[6]
In June 2014, the Massachusetts Health Connector selected Optum as systems integrator to implement an off-the-shelf exchange platform, customizing software from hCentive, with the goal of restoring functionality for the November 2014 open enrollment period.[11]
