Missouri billing firm selects IMAGINE Software practice management suite

Medical Billing Associates (MBA) of Sedalia, Miss., an anesthesia and radiology practice management and consulting company, has selected IMAGINE Software’s IMAGINEradiology platform as part of its practice management suite.

The Charlotte, N.C.-based IMAGINE said its system was originally designed specifically for the radiology field, but now includes anesthesia, cardiology, pathology, oncology and urology. 

Robert Clemens, MD, PhD, president of MBA, said that the company chose the platform to enhance and develop the anesthesia billing capabilities within the system, driving the same touch-less efficiencies to the anesthesia side that exist in the radiology system.
