Asheville Radiology Associates outsources billing to Zotec Partners

Zotec Partners, an industry leading provider of specialized medical billing and practice management services for the hospital-based specialty market, announces today that it is taking over billing operations for North Carolina-based Asheville Radiology Associates. Western North Carolina's largest multi-specialty practice, Asheville Radiology Associates previously handled billing in-house, but is now outsourcing to Zotec Partners due to the growing complexity of radiology billing and declining physician reimbursement.

“We're eager to take over billing operations for a group as reputable as Asheville Radiology Associates”

"We were searching for a knowledgeable and experienced radiology billing company to enhance our processes and provide us with useful strategic information, and this decision was not taken lightly," said Dr. Bryon A. Dickerson, president and CEO of Asheville Radiology Associates. "We sent out a request for proposal to the top billing companies and Zotec Partners proved to be the company that stood out. Zotec Partners demonstrated that it has proven billing expertise and technology that will help us achieve our short and long-term business goals. This technology will provide us with better information and superior reporting tools allowing us to better manage our practice. We will be able to focus our attention on improving patient care, while knowing our billing operation is in good hands."

Asheville Radiology Associates is composed of 37 radiologists, five vascular surgeons, nine physician's assistants and more than 200 employees. Dedicated to providing the highest quality imaging services available utilizing the latest technology, Asheville Radiology Associates provides a wide range of imaging services, including women's imaging, CT, interventional radiology, MRI, neuroradiology, nuclear medicine, body imaging, musculoskeletal radiology and vascular ultrasounds.

"We're eager to take over billing operations for a group as reputable as Asheville Radiology Associates," said David Law, partner of sales and marketing for Zotec Partners. "We have the ability to help the practice increase its income, and address the current and upcoming challenges of an ever changing healthcare market."
