Modernizing Medicine Closes Acquisition of Aesyntix Health, Inc.

 

BOCA RATON, Fla.--Modernizing Medicine, Inc., creator of the Electronic Medical Assistant® (EMA™), a cloud-based, specialty-specific electronic medical records (EMR) system, announced today that it completed an acquisition of Aesyntix Health, Inc. on Dec. 22, 2014.

The transaction with Aesyntix will enable Modernizing Medicine to provide RCM, inventory management and a GPO to its customers in addition to EMA. The specialty RCM service combines technology that streamlines claim processing and collections, comprehensive support services and specialty certified billing managers to deliver RCM expertise to end users who select the service with EMA.Aesyntix is a privately held company based in Roseville, Calif., that serves medical practices with three specialty-specific offerings: Aesyntix Billing Solutions for revenue cycle management (RCM), Aesyntix Inventory Management (AIM) and Aesyntix Physician Network (APN), a medical group purchasing organization (GPO).

“Our new specialty-specific RCM service along with EMA can create more efficient, streamlined billing processes at the point of care to help reduce denials, monitor and maximize reimbursements, decrease the cost of collections and increase revenue for providers,” said Daniel Cane, CEO and co-founder of Modernizing Medicine. “Nearly 5,000 physicians already use EMA, and most prefer one vendor for both their RCM service and EMR system. It means there is a single source for services, systems and support plus an opportunity for greater efficiencies and cost savings when customers choose combined offerings.”

“We are excited to join forces with Modernizing Medicine; it is a win all around," said Clark Avery, CEO of Aesyntix. "Not only will the employees be part of a rapidly growing and leading healthcare technology company with a clear mission of modernizing medicine through specialty solutions, but also our customers can benefit from the stronger combined offerings.”
