Datavant has established a fourth business vertical for itself by acquiring Ontellus , a Houston-based health records retrieval and claims intelligence company.

New York City-based Datavant , which has been around for about a decade, is a health data platform that connects and de-identifies patient data across organizations. By buying Ontellus, the company adds a legal and insurance vertical to go along with its three other verticals: payers, providers and life sciences firms. This move is meant to facilitate the exchange of clinical and billing data between providers and any professional organization that requests them — be it a legal department or insurance company.

The deal was announced Wednesday, and the two involved parties aren’t disclosing financial details.
