Talix, Inc. Spins Off As Independent Company, Secures $14 Million in Funding
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 11, 2016 -- Talix, Inc., a subsidiary of Healthline Networks, today announced it will spin off as an independent company. In conjunction with Summit Partners’ announced investment in Healthline Networks’ media business, former Healthline Networks shareholders and investors will provide $14 million in funding to Talix. This capital will be used to fund the growth of the company’s core risk adjustment product, Coding InSight, and support the development of future applications in its planned suite of patient risk management products powered by Talix’s proprietary HealthData Engine.
Dean Stephens will serve as the new Chief Executive Officer for Talix. Stephens has over 25 years of experience in healthcare, including co-founding and leading Healthline Networks. “Having secured this round of funding, Talix is well positioned to further innovate and disrupt the healthcare risk adjustment space. We are excited for this new chapter and look forward to continuing to deliver value to both our growing stable of high-profile customers and our shareholders,” said Stephens.
Talix will continue to provide information technology solutions to its traditional customers while it evolves its big patient data analytics capabilities. Continuing in executive roles with Talix will be Niraj Katwala, Murray Brozinsky, and Derek Gordon. Talix investors joining the Board of Directors include Phil Dur, representing Investor Growth Capital; Richard Harroch, VantagePoint Capital Partners; Kevin Brown, Reed Elsevier Ventures; and Mike Barber, General Electric Equity.
Talix was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Healthline Networks in January 2015. The company launched its first SaaS application, Coding InSight, in June 2015 and signed its first customer for the product in July 2015. Since then, the application has seen increasing adoption among both healthcare provider and payer organizations.
Talix will be exhibiting and presenting at the 2016 HIMSS Conference in February and the 2016 RISE Nashville Summit in March, where it will feature product demonstrations and customer success case studies.
