TriZetto Inks Deal With Arkansas Health Plan

TriZetto Group Inc., a provider of data processing services to the health care industry, said Tuesday that it has signed a five-year contract to provide services to one of the largest health plans in Arkansas.

The contract with QualChoice of Arkansas, which has 80,000 members, will initially add $10 million in annual revenue to TriZetto, the Newport Beach company said. Revenue should increase each year as the plan attracts new members, TriZetto said.

TriZetto shares fell 75 cents, to $23.75, in Nasdaq trading Tuesday.
