Tampa, Sept. 13, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DAS Health, a leading provider of health IT and management solutions nationwide, has added Chronic Care Management (CCM) to their service offerings in partnership with Tampa-based LinkedMD. DAS Health will offer LinkedMD’s comprehensive CCM program to their clients including physician practices, medical groups, hospitals and Accountable Care Organizations.
LinkedMD provides CCM tailored to those services encouraged by Medicare through CPT Code 99490. As a LinkedMD value added reseller, DAS Health will educate physicians and their practices on the benefits of chronic care management as well as implement LinkedMD’s CCM program.
“Our goal is to provide our physicians and their practices with a comprehensive suite of patient-centered solutions. The addition of LinkedMD’s CCM services gives our physicians an expanded ability to truly deliver better patient care,” said David Schlaifer, President and CEO of DAS Health. “LinkedMD’s service model and patient-centered approach complement our existing solutions and address a critical need for chronic care management.”
“The partnership between LinkedMD and DAS Health is a natural fit. DAS has an established customer base and excellent IT infrastructure, and LinkedMD has the clinical service they need,” said Laura Heiderman, President of LinkedMD. “More importantly, together, we have outstanding employees who will ensure continued accelerated growth for both companies.”
The need for chronic care is evident: 2/3 of Medicare beneficiaries live with two or more chronic conditions, according to the Center for Disease Control. Through this partnership, DAS Health and LinkedMD hope to provide more physicians with access to a critical component of patient’s health and well-being.
