US MedTrans Partners with MediGroup to Deliver
Accurate and HIPAA Compliant Medical Transcription Services
US MedTrans™,
a leading provider of digital, HIPAA compliant medical transcription services
has signed a partnering agreement with MediGroup Services Corporation (MediGroup),
the nation’s largest purchasing organization for physicians, surgery centers and clinics.
Under the terms of the agreement,
MediGroup customers will realize savings on their
purchases of medical transcription services.
MediGroup is a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) designed specifically to bring
large hospital GPO discounts to the small hospital, surgery center,
specialty physician office, medical center and long term care facilities markets.
US MedTrans' digital medical transcription services
will be offered to MediGroup's membership base of over 3000 organizations.
Healthcare facilities can rely on US MedTrans for staff augmentation to balance staff shortage,
or to accommodate overflow for unusually high volume periods.
US MedTrans also offers full outsourcing programs for organizations that prefer to
externally contract out all of their transcription needs.
US MedTrans incorporates an innovative blend of
experience and technology that
greatly improves the accuracy and delivery of clinical documentation.
According to MediGroup President Andy Klearman,
“The US MedTrans method is far superior to traditional and current methods
being used by a very large percentage of our membership.
Physicians can quickly and easily dictate files and receive transcribed patient reports
using a combination of the latest digital technology and the Internet.
Transcribed reports are highly accurate and are returned in a
remarkable 24 hour period — all in a HIPAA compliant environment.”
“The MediGroup/US MedTrans partnerships represents our businesses' pledge
to providing high value, cost effective solutions to the middle tier healthcare market,”
commented Mark Helwege, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for US MedTrans.
“Our exposure to MediGroup’s community will enable users to reap the benefits
of a high quality transcription service at very competitive rates.
Even more importantly, physicians will spend less time transcribing
and more time tending to their patients' needs.”
