Nomi Health, a nationwide healthcare programs and payments company based in Orem, Utah, announced on May 17 its acquisition of Phoenix-based I Am Wellness. According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition marks the 27th BHC acquisition of the year, and the sixth in the substance use disorder specialty.

The acquisition expands patient access to critical opioid use disorder and substance use disorder treatments while driving down care costs for local cities, counties and employers with Nomi’s whole-person and recovery-oriented program for treatment and recovery.

Nomi Health’s public health expertise will bolster I Am Wellness’ reach and impact by expanding its network of on-the-ground peer navigators while adding new virtual care programs and mobile units. I Am Wellness also is growing its footprint in the Phoenix MSA. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
