“This is an exciting new client engagement for us,” said Pat McGonigle, CEO of MedInformatix. “A medical services organization and radiology provider as comprehensive as Bay Medical and Bay Imaging, both in terms of procedures and geographic areas served, increasingly depends on a scalable billing platform to help the enterprise run optimally at all levels. Our technology teams look forward to hitting the ground running and customizing a billing solution to meet the needs of Bay Medical’s patients and physicians alike; and help the enterprise efficiently manage its growth well into the future.” McGonigle noted that Bay Medical currently processes more than one million insurance claims each year.
