IT Company Buys 73.5% of Palliative Service: Where's the Business Logic in Document Circulation

# Vchasno Group Becomes Majority Shareholder in Medics Opika Vchasno Group, known for electronic signatures and business reporting solutions, has become the majority owner of Medics Opika. The service has grown eightfold over the past year, with 35,000 monthly visits financed by the National Health Insurance Fund of Ukraine (NSZU). This is no longer diversification — it is a bet on state healthcare funding.

Vchasno Group, known primarily as a developer of electronic document management and reporting services, has increased its stake in the home palliative care service "Medics Care" (Mediks Opika) to 73.5%. The deal was closed in 2025 — the same year the company also purchased 80% of the "YaTax" reporting service and invested $1 million in the Uzbek retail startup Hippo.uz.

What is "Medics Care" and why is this a non-trivial purchase

The service was founded in 2020 and specializes in medical care at home for seriously ill patients — oncology, dementia, ALS and other conditions. Key detail: the company operates under a contract with the NSZU (National Health Service of Ukraine), meaning services for patients are free — they are paid by the state under the Medical Guarantees Program.

In 2025, "Medics Care" operations grew, according to the company, eightfold. The service engages over 350 doctors of various specialties who make approximately 35,000 patient visits monthly.

"Digital tools are capable of significantly improving the efficiency of medical service provision"

— Vchasno Group's position on synergy with "Medics Care," according to LIGA.net

In 2025, the NSZU expanded its palliative direction: instead of one general package, seven separate sub-packages began operating — for patients with dementia, chronic pain, and oncology. This means more targeted funding and, accordingly, a larger amount of funds for operators who already have contracts with the NSZU.

Where is the logic for an IT group

Vchasno Group is building an ecosystem around simplifying interaction between companies and the state. Medical care under an NSZU contract is essentially a B2G model with a guaranteed customer: the state pays for each recognized case of service provision. The better documented each visit, the more reimbursements.

This is where the potential synergy appears: proprietary tools for electronic documentation, reporting and digital signature — "Vchasno," "Vchasno.Report" — can directly serve the medical direction. Not as a separate product, but as infrastructure for NSZU billing.

  • 350+ doctors — potential user base for digital tools within a single ecosystem
  • 35,000 visits per month — each requiring documentation, referrals, and reporting to the NSZU
  • 7 NSZU palliative sub-packages since 2025 — growing complexity of reporting for providers

What remains open

Vchasno Group does not disclose the deal amount — as in previous acquisitions. It is also unclear which specific digital tools from the group are already integrated into "Medics Care" operations and whether there are plans to expand to other regions beyond current coverage.

Service growth of eight times in a year is an impressive indicator, but it also raises questions about scalability: if the NSZU changes tariffs or palliative care package conditions in 2026, will the business model maintain the same pace?
