Indian business process outsourcing companies involved in healthcare are increasingly eyeing a niche business in the US healthcare sector.

The healthcare sector in the US is undergoing a sea change due to the need for compliance to the Health Insurance Profitability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which might result in off-shoring a good quantum to other countries such as India, according t o analysts.
