Julie Klapstein is CEO of Florida-based Availity LLC, which last week announced its acquisition of Indianapolis-based RealMed Corp. The combined firms will have $100 million in annual revenue and want to work with doctors and health insurers to finally allow patients to pay their co-pays and deductible payments when they’re at the doctor’s office—not weeks later in the mail. The change could also allow doctor’s to get paid much faster for their services.
Health care software firm RealMed Corp. will keep its base of operations in Indianapolis after being acquired by health information exchange provider Availity LLC of Jacksonville, Fla. Terms of the deal announced Wednesday were not disclosed.
RealMed enjoys a nearly 99-percent renewal rate among its current customers and attracted 4,000 new doctors
in 2009. Employment at the company is rising after a steady decline.
