OCM announces acquisition of RIN

One Call Medical, Inc. (OCM), the nation's leading provider of specialty services to insurance payers, today announced its acquisition of Raytel Imaging Network, Inc. (RIN), a preferred provider network of diagnostic imaging services, including MRIs and CT scans. This acquisition expands and strengthens OCM's market-leading national diagnostic network.

"Raytel Imaging Network has been a leader in the field of diagnostic imaging, and we are excited about adding RIN to our portfolio of services," said Kent Spafford, Executive Chairman of the Board at One Call Medical. "Both of our companies are committed to providing clients and patients with prompt access to the highest quality, most efficient, and cost-effective imaging services. As such, integrating our networks is a logical and natural fit. We welcome Jeff and his team to the OCM family. RIN's people and business model add meaningful value to our current operations."

Raytel Imaging Network is based in Collegeville, Penn., and its general manager Jeffrey Flanegin said of the acquisition: "Our customers can continue to expect exceptional service and a continued emphasis on building value-added relationships. Both companies have a shared focus on quality and utilize a stringent provider credentialing process to ensure ongoing access to the best, most qualified radiology providers."

Within the workers' compensation medical management process, OCM and RIN's best-in-class imaging facilities deliver accurate test results that lead to appropriate diagnoses. This is the first critical step in ensuring injured employees benefit from effective treatment, quality care, timely recovery, and ultimately, a prompt return to work. It also helps payers to prevent simple injuries from turning into long, expensive claims.

OCM CEO Don Duford outlined the wide breadth of specialty services that RIN clients can now take advantage of: "One Call Medical has long been a trusted and valued partner among the workers' compensation payer and claims community. We developed a diagnostic management program that utilizes advanced analytics to help clients realize optimal savings and quality from our network. In addition to diagnostic services, we also offer a comprehensive portfolio of specialty services, including transportation, translation, interpretation, and dental referral management."
