Extormity acquires Practice Management software vendor
Rapidly expanding
healthcare IT vendor Extormity has announced the acquisition
of MaxRev, a leading practice and revenue cycle management
company.
“We recognize that
most of our competitors have expanded their electronic health
record product lines to integrate practice management systems,”
said Extormity CEO Brantley Whittington. “We are copying a
page from the competitive playbook, effectively adding concertina
wire to keep customers inside our walled garden.”
In acquiring MaxRev,
Extormity adds yet another incompatible IT architecture to
its mixed breed software platform. According to CTO Oliver
Brindle, “In MaxRev, we found a company that has been acquired,
merged, divested and broken up so many times that their software
actually has no decipherable code, guaranteeing significant
professional fees for the virtually impossible task of integrating
with the Extormity EHR system.”
With the MaxRev
acquisition, Extormity is adding a new twist to the emerging
practice of gainsharing practiced by some revenue cycle management
firms. Dubbed the Extormity Revenue Deduction program, this
built-in software module will automatically deduct a percentage
of practice revenues and wire transfer them to a bank in the
Cayman Islands.
“This is one less
check that the practice manager will have to write, and the
complete lack of visibility will minimize physician complaints
about costs as they will have no idea what we are actually
deducting,” added Whittington. “The percentage of revenues
we deduct will vary, based on the number of physicians, collected
revenue volumes and our cash requirements to pay generous
shareholder dividends.”
