Zotec to Merge with Susan J. Taylor, Inc. to Maximize Medical Billing Efficiencies

Zotec Partners, a solutions firm providing medical billing services and licensed software to hospital-based physician specialty practices across the U.S., today announced its merger with Susan J. Taylor, Inc. (SJT), a long standing provider of practice management solutions to the medical community, with a proven expertise in anesthesiology.

Terms of the merger, jointly announced by Zotec’s chief executive officer, T. Scott Law and Susan J. Taylor, Inc. president, Susan J. Mills, were not disclosed.

The merger combines SJT’s years of experience in revenue cycle management for anesthesia groups and Zotec’s superior technology that will make client’s lives easier and enable them to better combat industry trends. SJT has been a long standing licensing client of Zotec Partners, and plans to help drive additional technology advances in the field of anesthesia billing.

“With 25 years of medical billing experience for anesthesia groups, Susan J. Taylor, Inc. has immense expertise of the industry and we are extremely excited about this partnership,” said Law.

Susan J. Taylor, Inc. currently licenses Zotec’s Electronic Billing Center (EBC), the foundation of the company’s revenue-enhancing products.  Because there is no technology conversion required, the merger will be seamless and without interruption to Susan J. Taylor’s current clients.

“Since 1982, our mission has been to provide our clients with exemplary service and dependability, and to be responsive in meeting our clients’ needs by continually researching new services, in addition to improving existing services. The partnership with Zotec allows us to uphold our mission to our fullest ability and will enable us to improve upon services to our clients,” said Mills. “We are thrilled to be able to combine our knowledge of the anesthesia industry with Zotec’s technology in order to make our client’s lives easier.”

The Susan J. Taylor, Inc. merger is the second for Zotec in the past three months. In April 2007, Zotec merged with Healthcare Management Partners (HMP), the 12th largest medical billing company in the United States based in Southern California.

Zotec Partners will service over 5,500 physicians across more than 42 states this year.
