According to J.R. Thomas, MedSynergies' Chief Executive Officer, "This venture will bring state-of-the-art business processes, technology and financial analysis to Emergency Medicine and Hospitalist Medicine practices. MedSynergies' proprietary methodologies have created significant financial growth for our clients as a result of fewer claims denials, accelerated cash flow and optimized financial processes. MedSynergies will benefit from PHMG's proprietary front-end coding and data collection technologies, enhancing our ability to efficiently process insurance claims."
Dr. J. Bennet Waters, PHMG's President, echoes Thomas' feelings. "The current model for healthcare billing is outdated. Too many physician practices are suffering the consequences of inefficient systems for capturing information, filing accurate claims, and effectively generating revenue in a timely fashion. As emergency departments shrink in number but grow in volume, it becomes more important for Emergency Medicine physicians to optimize their workflow and improve their financial stability."
Waters and Thomas feel the venture will allow each company to focus on its core competency. "In the end, our clients will benefit from the combination of stronger revenue cycle performance and the associated practice management improvements that come from a better bottom line," Waters says.
