St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) July 7, 2005 -- Florida Radiology Consultants (FRC) has
signed a three year, $3 million contract with St. Louis-based Evolutions, a
leading national practice management and medical billing solutions provider. FRC
has added Evolutions’ billing collection services for their hospital practice at
the Lee Memorial Health System and their imaging centers, all located in Fort
Myers and Cape Coral, Florida (Lee County).
Evoutions has been providing
Florida Radiology Consultants with their practice management services since
April 2004 and medical coding since December 2004. Evolutions will open an
office in the Fort Myers area, where Florida Radiology Consultants performs over
300,000 radiology procedures annually.
“We are excited to continue our
relationship with Florida Radiology Consultants and look forward to providing
these additional services to them,” said Tom Long, President and CEO of
Evolutions. “This radiology group is one of the best in healthcare industry, and
we are pleased they have selected us as their billing collections services
provider.”
Florida Radiology Consultants, a 17-physician radiology group,
serves the medical community and citizens of southwest Florida with the latest
advances in diagnostic imaging. For over three decades, the physicians at
Florida Radiology Consultants have earned a reputation as area leaders for
accurate diagnostic imaging and prompt reporting. Today, hundreds of medical
professionals rely on the group to interpret virtually every type of imaging
from lung and heart scans to musculoskeletal, abdominal and brain
scans.
"Florida Radiology Consultants is excited about expanding our
relationship with Evolutions,” said Dr. Joseph Tienstra, President of Florida
Radiology Consultants. “We are confident that Evolutions has the expertise and
attention to detail that our practice requires. We have already seen outstanding
results once we started using them for medical coding."
Evolutions,
headquartered in St. Louis with regional offices in Cape Girardeau, MO and
Evansville, IN, provides high quality and responsive medical billing solutions
to its client base of radiologists, radiation oncologists, imaging centers and
other medical specialties located throughout the U.S. Evolutions currently has
29 clients located in nine states (MO, IL, AR, KY, CO, MS, FL, VA and WV) and
has the capability to provide services nationwide with potential opportunities
in MI, CA, AL, NY and SC.
Evolutions’ billing solutions entail much more
than producing bills for medical providers. The company’s enhanced billing
solutions, which are totally HIPAA-compliant, have reduced days in A/R for many
clients by 35 percent. Payment denials have been reduced by as much as 18
percent due to the company’s unique claims data scrubber that checks for missing
data elements, transpositions and illogical information. Professional coders
also examine each claim submitted by Evolutions to insure that all coding is at
the appropriate and correct level. The company also monitors trends in its
clients’ claims submissions and when they discover recurring anomalies, they
provide client training to correct the problem.
