Prudential Insurance Co.'s health care unit has picked Integrated Health Services Inc. to provide specialized services to patients under a one-year contract, a selection that Owings Mills-based Integrated Health called a "validation" of its strategy.
Integrated Health was one of four "preferred vendors" chosen by the giant Newark, N.J.-based company. The other companies were Genesis Healthcare, Olsten Corp.'s health care unit and Coram Healthcare Corp. In April, Integrated Health backed out of a deal to acquire Coram for $559 million.
