Jersey City, NJ (Vocus) January 14, 2010
ITelagen, Inc., innovative provider of healthcare information technology, medical billing and electronic medical records (EMR), and Bell Medical Services, Inc., a leading regional distributor of medical supplies, equipment and pharmaceuticals, have formed an exclusive partnership aimed at encouraging the widespread, meaningful use of EMRs in physician practices throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.
“This new partnership gives Bell Medical Services’ physician clients the easiest and most effective route to claiming stimulus dollars for EMR adoption,” explains ITelagen Chief Executive Officer John O’Keefe. “Physician practices can rely on ITelagen’s combination of EMR, medical billing services and IT support, to fully automate their billing process and achieve meaningful use of EMRs.”
Bell Medical Services’ sales footprint reaches from Maine to Florida, serving more than 5000 doctors in small-to-midsized practices of 1-20 physicians. In addition to leading medical supplies, equipment and pharmaceuticals, Bell Medical Services’ sales force will now offer ITelagen’s “One-Stop Shop for EMR” to all physicians in the Bell Medical network.
“Both ITelagen and Bell Medical Services are very relationship-focused,” says Jeff Schimbeno, Bell Medical Services’ Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Because of this, we understand physician needs and concerns from a practice standpoint better than most. Together, we’re helping physicians improve their practices through more efficient medical billing and operations while getting every ARRA HITECH dollar to which they’re entitled.”
