In the new agreement, Zotec will deliver an unmatched blend of revenue cycle management services using an expert team of people, detailed processes, and sophisticated RCM technologies to optimize SimonMed's success while also meeting the demands of its patient-consumers.

SimonMed specializes in using the newest diagnostic imaging technologies and brings them to the community in an affordable and accessible way. It offers outpatient radiology, interventional radiology and teleradiology services to patients nationwide while providing care in a supportive and service oriented environment. According to Zotec's Founder and CEO, T. Scott Law, Zotec shares a like-minded approach with SimonMed in meeting the needs of new patient-consumers, especially comparing SimonMed's use of advanced technology in the clinical application of radiology. He says, "Zotec uses the most advanced technologies t meet the medical billing needs of today's radiology patients, similar to SimonMed's advanced imaging technology. Our leading-edge TOS portal has the ability to estimate payments and insurance eligibility for patients, for example, which leads to a greater propensity that patients will pay their bills." He goes on to say that Zotec's patient experience methods are also highly effective after the time of service, adding, "our mobile billing and texting capabilities, patient portal and payment plan options are just a few of the follow-up methods we utilize for radiology patients, giving them plenty of options to make their payments, and in a way they prefer."

"With Zotec, we can further educate patients about their medical bills and communicate openly with them while at the same time collect more money for services rendered," he states.
