Approved Incentive

Change Healthcare conducted a competitive process to determine whether to expand in Florida or Rhode Island. The Company currently operates from a single location, which is located at 100 Freight Street, Pawtucket. Due to a growing customer base and demand for the service that the Company provides, Change Healthcare has been evaluating the potential to increase the call center presence.  The Company currently has 268 full-time employees in Rhode Island. The new jobs beyond those existing 268 positions, will be comprised of client service management (i.e. call center response management).

The Commerce board approved incentives for Change Healthcare Options to expand into Rhode Island by locating nearly 300 new employees in Pawtucket. Twenty-seven of those new jobs have been approved for Qualified Jobs Tax Credits worth approximately $480,000 over 10 years
