US health group PacifiCare will create up to 160 new jobs after the expansion of its centre in Letterkenny, Co Donegal.
The company said the expansion is the result of an increasing volume and mix of work being transferred to the centre. PacifiCare is one of the largest health care services companies in the US.
Since the original centre was established in mid 1999, the planned workforce of 150 people has been more than achieved PacifiCare said.
The Letterkenny centre processes and adjudicates medical claims from hospitals in the US.
