The Capita Group Plc has announced that it has acquired Insurance Medical Group Limited (IMG) for an undisclosed sum. IMG provides medico-legal reporting, diagnostics, and pro-active physiotherapy and treatment services.

The acquisition, which follows the acquisitions, last year, of Premier Medical Group and First Assist, adds further expertise and capacity to Capita’s wellbeing and health business. It also opens up new parts of the medico-legal market, particularly claims management companies and small and medium sized law practices.

Commenting on the deal, Jason Powell, who moved to Capita with the acquisition of Premier Medical Group and now heads up Capita’s medical reporting business, said: “IMG produces more than 20, 000 medical reports each year and arranges more than 50,000 physiotherapy appointments through the Physio-link network. This acquisition will add important new expertise to Capita’s range of health services, enabling us to provide of a full suite of medical reporting and screening services. The deal also further demonstrates Capita’s commitment to, and investment in, the medico-legal market.”
